Chapman, Abel. Brent Geese. (Scottish Naturalist, April, 1917.) — 
States that as both dark and light-bellied Brant breed together in Spits- 
bergen and elsewhere in northern Europe that they cannot be regarded 
as geographic races. A note from Dr. Hartert corroborates his statement 
and further calls attention to the fact that the name glaucogastra of Brehm 
applies to the dark bellied form not the light as used in the A. O. U. Check- 
List. Heretofore the light-bellied Brant occurring in England in winter 
were supposed to be migrants from America which was considered to be the 
exclusive breeding ground of the light-bellied form. Other notes on the 
subject occur in the February and May numbers.
