1. Remarks on the Ornithology of Northern Norway. For- 

 handl. Vidensk. Selsk. Christiania, 1872, pp. 189-223. 



This memoir embraces the ornithological facts resulting 

 from the author's researches during the summers of 1871 and 

 1872 on the northern and central portions of the Norwegian 

 coast, the results of 1870 having been already published* else- 

 where. The notes are ample and of much value to students 

 of distribution. Full details are given respecting the " Ry- 

 peora," usually supposed to be a hybrid between Tetrao tetrix 

 <5 and Lagopus alb us $ , but, according to our author, be- 

 tween the male Ptarmigan and Greyhen. Mr. Collett calls 

 this form Lagopus tetrici-albus.
