[§ 4831. Zwo—Mushroom Point, Grinnell Land, Lat.82°29'N., 
11 July, 1876. “H.W. F.” From Captain Feilden, 
LOT 7. 
In his account of the Birds observed during the Arctic Expedition of 1875-6, 
Captain (now Colonel) Feilden says (Ibis, 1877, p. 409) that this was the only 
species of Skua observed. It arrived in the neighbourhood of the winter- 
quarters of H.M.S. ‘ Alert’ in the first week of June in considerable numbers, 
after which time it was to be seen “every hour of the day quartering the fells 
and searching for lemmings. It lays its two eggs ina small hollow in the 
ground, and defends its nest with the utmost bravery.” These eggs were 
taken and kindly given to me by the Colonel. Mushroom Point is a little to 
the north-west of where the ship wintered. |
