In Mr. sun.MH.r this s,.oci..s is toi.n.l t.. ti.e ext.vnio nortli nf (Im-nland 

 and has never been ki.uwn t,, nest laithor sonth than the (lilth parallel It 

 IS more muuerous in X..rth (Iroenland than the Ihiann., which is rare at ti.e 

 extreme north, wluie this is very eonunon even at latitu.le 7.r. This bird 

 biukk .ts i.ests m bushes in the san.e n.anner with /uurrlus, and its c-s 

 closely resenibl. those of that bird. Its notes, he adds, do not at all 7e- 

 senible those of the Ked-I'oll, b„t are like those of the A.>p,n. <,„rr,In. 



It ,s a resident of ( Jre<.nland throughout the year, and in the winter kee,,s 

 on the n.ountains in the interior, but is n.uch n.ore nunu-ruus at latitude G6° 

 than iarther south. In February, 182(i, H..lboll .saw n.:my Hocks on the 

 moun an.s between IJitenlKtnk an.l Ou.anak, and in the journey taken in 

 l.S.iO by a merchant fron. Holsteinborg into the interior of the country a 

 great nuu.y Hocks were observed. They are also frcjueutlv met with 'by 

 rem.leer-Imnters, who go far into the interior. It is rarely Vound in South 

 l^reenland at any time, an.l never in the sunnuer. In mild winters they 

 sometimes come ali.n.t the settlements, as happened in the winter of 1828- '^9 

 and agam in 18;;7 - :!8. I„ the intervening winters it was not seen at (Jod- 

 liaab, and n, severe winters it is never to be found near the coast, only sin-de 

 sj)ecnnens occurring there in sj)ring and autumn. ° 



Mr. :\IacKarlane thinks this si)ecies spends the winter at Fort Anderson as 

 lie has met with it as late as December and as early as February, and believes 

 It to have been present in the vicinity in the interval It nests in May 

 Mr Harriott found one ..f its nests on the branch of a tree, about five ieet 

 from the ground. It cDiitained five eggs. 



Tlie egg of this speeies reseftifcles th^t of the Hnarlis except in size ami its 

 lighter ground-color. The ground is a bluish or greenish white, dotted witii 

 a tawny-brown. The egg is ..f a more oval shape, and measures .75 by (JO 

 of an inch. ''
