the summer, and Miiller thinks they have bred in the islands. 
Wolley mentions having seen a single male in the end of June, 
1849, and I saw a male that was killed on the sea near Thorshavn, 
in the beginning of June, 1872. 
101. Clangula glaucion, Linn. Goldeneye. Native name, 
Andt.— This bird has been very seldom seen in the Feroe Islands, 
according to Miiller, who only records one instance of its capture, 
on the 12th March, 1858. 
102. Mergus serrator, Linn. Merganser. Native name, 
Topandt.—Miiller observes that it is found in the islands both 
summer and winter, and that it lays ten or twelve eggs. I noticed 
it sparingly distributed through the islands: on the 12th June we 
saw two pairs at Saxen, Stromoe; two nests with eggs were brought 
to me from Kalbak, Stromoe, about the middle of June. 
103. Mergus castor, Linn. Goosander. Native name, Topandt. 
—Appears to be of very rare occurrence in the Feroe Islands. 
Miiller only records one instance of its capture, which was obtained 
on the Ist March, 1854. 
104. Podiceps nigricollis, Sundef. Sclavonian Grebe.—This 
bird has not been observed to breed in Feroe, but it is a common 
autumnal visitant. J was given the skin of. one which had been 
shot near Eide, Osteroe, in the fall of 1871. 
105. Podiceps minor, Linn. Little Grebe.—Is included on the

24th November, 1845. 
106. Colymbus glacialis, Linn. Great Northern Diver. Native 
name, Havgaas.—Is seen most frequently in spring and autumn 
frequenting the bays and fiords: it has never been known to breed 
in the islands, though adult individuals are seen along the coasts 
during summer. I watched through my glasses one of these birds 
fishing close to the shore of Suderoe, on the 30th May. Herr 
Miiller informs me that an adult male, killed on the 6th June, 1865, 
weighed ten and a half pounds. 
107. Colymbus arcticus, Linn. Blackthroated Diver. Native 
name, Loumur. — Miiller records a single example as having 
occurred in Feroe. 
108. Colymbus septentrionalis, Linn. Redthroated Diver. 
Native name, Loumur.—Arrives in the middle of March and leaves 
in the end of September. Landt mentions that “ Its flesh is well
