194 ^^- L- ^^- Manniche. 



According to H. Winge: "Grønlands Fugle" this bird breeds so 

 far North on the East coast of Greenland as lat. 75° n. (On Shannon.) 

 Bay observed it commonly in the inner part of Scoresby-Sound. 



On the skin brought home the following measures have been 



taken : 



Wing Bill Tarsus 



945 mm. 13 mm. 28 mm. 



Redpoll. Caimabina linaria (L.) 



The Redpoll appeared a few times in the migration-season, but 

 it was not found breeding. 



Dr. Lindhard reports to have observed a Redpoll near his tent 

 on Кар Marie Valdemar August 18"^ 1906; two days later he saw^ a 

 smaller flock on Rosio Island. 



September 9*^ 1907 I observed a Redpoll — certainly a young bird 

 — in company with some Snow-Buntings on Harefjeldet near the 

 ship's-harbour. In contrast to the Buntings the Redpoll proved con- 

 fiding and rather curious; several times it hopped around on the 

 ground just before my feet. 



In the oesophagus of the bird I found seeds of plants, especially 

 Liizula. 



April 18"^ 1908 I again saw this species on Harefjeldet (3 indi- 

 viduals). One of them was secured; the oesophagus of this bird was 

 also filled with seeds of plants {Cyperacea and Liiziila). 



August 19"^ I heard twittering from flying Redpolls near the 

 ship's-harbour, but I did not succeed in observing the birds in the 

 bright sunshine. The skins of two birds were brought home to the 

 zoological museum in Copenhagen. 



The birds had been so damaged by the shot that an anatomical 

 determination of the sex was impossible. 



Both the birds belong to the pale subspecies [var. canescens]. 



The following measurements have been taken:
