tion he gives is founded partly on what he may have read of the 

 species, ^ and partly on his o^Yn observations and what he had 

 gathered from others concerning H. glacialis. 



In the library of the Christiania University there is the MS. 

 of a Journal kept by Str0m from 1756 to 1780,^ and containing 

 the subject matter from which he worked up the chapters treating 

 of the natural history of S0ndm0re. In the said Journal, which is 

 not paged, the species in question is found recorded in the fol- 

 lowing passages, under the name of „Anglemage", but without 

 mention of time or place. Much, too, has been crossed out, which 

 plainly evinces the author's uncertainty with the subject. 



a. „Anglemager er som en Teiste, sort nied en hvid Ring om 

 0ynene, floher sig sammen og raaber ligesom Angla (Havmlde, vide 

 Klein p. 133)." The parenthetical clause has been struck out. 



This is plainly Harelda glacialis in summer plumage, a belief 

 which Str0m himself originally entertained. 



h. Angleniagen ligner den saa haldte Penguin, macula alha ante 

 oculum, dersom den ilcke hlev heshreven med en hvid Ming om Hal- 

 sen og dobhelt saa stor som en Alke. This has all been struck 

 through. 



This, it appears, is not an original observation. The meaning 

 of the pronoun „f?e«" in the phrase „dersom den ^'Me" is not clear. 



c. Anglemagen, sort og hvid med en hvid Streg over 0ynene, 

 . . . er liig Aiken i Ncehiet, som er langt og Tirnmt, og meget hastig 

 at duke under og komme op igjen, liden Top. 



d. Anglemagen er tiden all tvivl Colymhus minor s. Ducher, 

 heskrives af Linnceo som cristatus. (This too has been struck out). 



These remarks, too, collated, as it appears, with the descrip- 

 tion of a grebe, originate in information obtained from others. 



e. Anglemagen, st0rre og Icengere af Krop end Aiken, og mere 

 hvid, is<^r Hunnen, de har en hvid Plet over 0yet, langt krumt Nmh,
