336 LARUS GLAUCUS. 
[§ 4640. One.—Ice Sound, Spitsbergen, 28 June, 1864. 
AC eave 
Taken by Dr. Malmgren, who was naturalist to the Nordenskjéld Expedition 
of that year, and given by him, on board the vessel of the expedition, in the 
morning of the 17th of July, to the late Mr. Graham Manners-Sutton, my 
fellow-guest on board the ‘ Sultana,’ who was subsequently good enough to 
let me have it. The Swedish ship sailed the same day, so that I had not the 
opportunity of asking Dr. Malmgren the precise position of the nest, but it 
was on one of the upper branches of the fjord, where he and his leader had 
been for some days before we met them (cf. Ibis, 1865, p. 208).] 
[§ 4641. Zwo.—Arctic Coast of America, east of Anderson 
r 
River, 6 July, 1863. From the Smithsonian Institu- 
tion, through Professor Baird. 
The label sent with these shews that they were part of Mr. MacFarlane’s 
spoils, and that the parent was shot from them. He writes of this species 
(Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xiv. p. 417) :—‘‘ Altogether some twenty nests were 
gathered by our collecting-parties, chiefly on sandy islets in the bays of 
Franklin and Liverpool, and a few of these were also found on islands in the 
Lower Anderson; but the bird itself was observed in various localities. * 
Fifteen of the nests contained two eggs each, and but five had as many as 
three. The nest was usually a shallow depression in the beach, while in one 
of them we discovered an egg of the Black Brant which was being incubated 
by a bird of this species. The egg of the Goose was in a more embryo- 
developed stage than those of the Gull, which we always considered as about 
the bravest of the Laride in defence of its eggs and young.”’] 
4642. One-—Danes’ Gat, Spitsbergen, 11 July, 1873. 
From Mr. A. E. Eaton. 
Mr. Eaton accompanied Mr. Benjamin Leigh-Smith in his voyage that 
year. With this perfect specimen was sent the hatched-out half shell of 
another, marked by Mr. Eaton as having been taken on the 13th of the same 
month. |

Zweite deutsche Nordpolarfahrt, ii. pp, 231, 243. 
According to Dr. Pansch (wt supra), the Expedition met with several 
breeding-stations of this species, the largest being at Walrus Island, where 
there were from fifty to sixty nests, placed both on and at the foot of the cliffs,
