Sanderling. Calidris arenaria L. 



The Sanderling was decidedly one of the most frequently occur- 

 ring birds in North-East Greenland — also nesting. 1 met with this 

 species wherever suitable localities were to be found, as well far 

 up the firths as on table-lands far from salt water. It occurred 

 more rarely on the smaller isles, whether these were lying near the 

 open sea or in bays and fjords. 



The environments of the ship's-harbour, Stormkap and the 

 plains N. and N. E. of Hvalrosodden were excellent nesting-locali- 

 ties for the Sanderling, which here occurred numerously; in August 

 I sometimes met with flocks of enormous size.
