448 TEN YEARS IN SWEDEN. 



37. Tringa pectoralis, Bp. Three examples are on 

 record. Am. 



38. The Red-breasted Snipe, Am. Only one specimen 

 is recorded. 



39. The Common Snipe. Has been so often observed in 

 Greenland that it probably breeds there. 



40. The Land Rail. One example. 



41. The Spotted Crake. Two examples. 



42. The American Rail. One example in 1822. 



43. The American Coot. Legs grey; beak red, tipped 

 with white. Two specimens on record. 



44. The Common Domestic Goose. 



45. Anser hyperboreus, Pall. Only young birds have 

 been obtained. 



46. The Pintail. Accidental, but not very rare. 



47. The Green- winged Teal, Am. Four specimens have 

 been sent to Copenhagen within the last twelve years. 



48. The Teal. Rare. 



49. The Widgeon. As rare as the last. 



50. The Scaup. Yery rare. He adds that he considered 

 two males and one female, which were sent from Nerotalik 

 in 1859, to be the first ever obtained here, until he learnt 

 from the " Ibis " that Dr. Walker had already procured it 

 during his short stay ar Godhavn. 



51. The Crested Duck. On the authority of Mr. Walker, 

 was obtained at Godhavn in 1857, during the stay of the 

 " Fox " at that place. The capture of this duck in North 

 Greenland must be considered as very extraordinary, for it 

 does not inhabit North America, and Iceland even is not 

 included in its northern European range. 



52. The Buffel-headed Duck. One only example on 

 record. 



53. The Surf Scoter. Only a very few specimens ob- 

 tained. 



54. The Sclavonian Grebe, Gm. Only a few birds, and 

 these young, obtained in the south of Greenland.
