categories by indenting the paragraphs in which the stragglers are 
noticed. Without some such precaution the interspersal of strag- 
glers among true denizens only leads to confusion, and especially 
would it do so in the present case when the two categories are 
almost equal in number, while most of the stragglers have occurred 
outside of the Arctic Circle, and in places lying many degrees of 
latitude to the southward of the tracts which the new Expedition is 
to explore. Still further to direct attention to these last tracts, the 
names of those species which, so far as one can judge, may be not 
unreasonably looked for in Smith Sound, and some of them thence 
to the northward, are distinguished by an asterisk (*), while to the 
names of those which are known to breed in Greenland and yet 
may not be expected to occur beyond the Danish Settlements an 
obelisk (+) is prefixed. The native (Esquimaux) names when given 
by Fabricius or others are marked by inverted commas. I have 
further to premise that the Danish Settlements are divided into two 
Inspectorates, roughly speaking, separated by the 68th parallel, as 
well as to observe that when a species is said to be found generally 
or throughout Greenland the words “in suitable localities” must 
be understood to follow, even though not inserted. 
tWhitetailed Eagle (Haliaetus albicilla). “ Nektoralik,” “ Ter- 
tersoak.”—Inhabits generally and breeds in the whole of Danish 
Greenland, including the eastern coast. Its northern range not as 
yet determined. Being the only eagle found in the country, there 
seems no need to give here its diagnostic characters. 
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus).—A single specimen obtained 
(25 Sept.) at Godavn, by Mr. E. Whymper, and sent to the 
Museum of Copenhagen. Must be regarded as a straggler 
(most likely from America), since it is not found in Iceland, 
and has only once been known to occur in the Feroes 
(1848). 
*Greenland Falcon (Falco candicans). “ Kirksoviarsuk-kakor- 
tuinak.”—The white form of great northern falcon. In summer 
more common in the Northern Inspectorate than in the Southern, 
but occurring, according to Dr. Finsch, also on the Eastern Coast. 
The limits of its breeding range in either direction have not been 
determined. 
tIceland Falcon (Falco islandus). “ Kirksoviarsuk-kernektok.”— 
The darker form of great northern falcon, by some held to be 
distinct from F. candicans and F. gyrfalco. The northern limits
