.V_> CATALOGUE OF 



55. Surf Scoter. ( Oidemia perspicillata.} 



Rare. Benzon had one skin from Julianeshaab in 1878, 

 and in the same year one skin from Eginiarfik, in 68 

 N. lat. 



56. Greater Snow Goose. (Chen hyperborea nivalis.) 



Quite rare, especially adult birds. Herr V. Miiller, of 

 Ivigtut, has informed me that in the month of June, 

 1884 (?), some Greenlanders near Proven (in 72 N. lat.) 

 where lie then lived, brought him a pair of adult Snow 

 Geese just captured. These birds were later secured by 

 Gov. E. Fencker, who added them to his collection. It 

 seems, therefore, not improbable that this bird breeds in 

 Greenland. 



57. White-fronted Goose. (Anser albifrons.) 



Breeds quite commonly between 66 and 72. Eggs were 

 found on June 7 and June 24. 



58. Hutchins's Goose. (Branta canadensis hutchinsii.) 

 An occasional visitor. 



59. Brant. (Branta bernicla.) 



Common as a migratory bird along the whole coast ; 

 breeds possibly in the northern part of Danish Greenland. 



60. Barnacle Goose. (Branta kucopsis.} 



A regular autumn visitor to South Greenland. 



[Reinhardt reported a rumor that had reached him of 

 eggs of this species being taken in Greenland, but this lacks 

 confirmation. M. C.]
