observed on Novaya Zemlya. 225 



from Novaya Zemlya, we could count from 60 to 80 — 

 chiefly Loug-tailed — at any time of the day round the ship. 



f-23. Stercorarius parasiticus. Long-tailed Skua. 

 Seen at same time as No. 22. 



24. FuLMARUs GLACiALis. Fulmar. 

 Seen as above. 



25. CoLYMBus ADAMSi. Whitc-billcd Northern Diver. 

 Seen by H. P. on Wilczek Lake, but not shot. Also 



seen by C. E. P. and H. H. S. on a small lake near Belootcha 

 Bay. In both cases the light- coloured bill could be clearly 

 distinguished. 



2Q. CoLYMBUs ARCTicus. Black-throatcd Diver. 



Several seen, but none shot. 



27. CoLYMBus sEPTENTRioNALis. Bed-tlu'oated Diver. 

 One was shot on Goose-land and several others were seen 



there, as well as in the other parts visited. 



28. LoMviA BRUENNicni. Briinnich's Guillemot. 



We found a large colony of these birds breeding on the 

 island where we first landed, at the western enti-ance of 

 Kostin Schar, and took a good series of eggs. All those 

 taken on July 17tli were nearly fresh, but those on July 

 23rd from the same place had 25 per cent, so much incubated 

 that the young had to be cut out. The series show great 

 variety in colour and size. In colour they closely resemble 

 a selected collection of the Common Guillemot, and pass 

 from pure white to the browns of the Razorbill and every 

 variety of yellow and blue-greens, some being very hand- 

 somely blotched with black. 



29. Uria mandti. 



Shot on July 3rd near the ice. 



-I 30. Mergulus alle. Little Auk. 

 Seen on same day.
