450 TEN YEARS IN SWEDEN. 



being the most westerly, though, regular, boundary of some 

 strictly European species, not only of the birds of passage 

 already mentioned, but also of others, such as Aquilla 

 albicella. 



I may add that any naturalist wishing to visit Greenland 

 will perhaps find his easiest route by Copenhagen, from 

 which place sailing vessels (large and well appointed ships) , 

 carrying the mails, start for Greenland as soon as the sea is 

 open, calling at all the coast settlements, and continuing to 

 run to and from Greenland throughout the summer. I am not 

 sure whether a steamer does not now run from that place, 

 but I fancy so. All information, however, can be procured 

 of the British Consul in Copenhagen. I question much 

 whether a mere trip would pay the collector ; but doubtless, 

 if a man were to spend one winter and two summers in 

 the country, he would do much. To my fancy, Lap- 

 land, and North-east Finmark, and Eussia possess greater 

 attractions to the British ornithologist at the present time 

 than any other European countries.
