that which is known to have been procured by Heilmann at 
the Fiskenzs in 1815: The last examples with certainty known 
to have existed were killed on Eldey, off the south-west point 
of Iceland, in 1844. 
Horned Grebe (Podiceps auritus).—A few immature speci- 
mens have been obtained in the southern part of Greenland. 
American Rednecked Grebe (Podiceps Holbeelli).— This 
New-World representative of the Old-World P. griseigena, 
was first described as a distinct species from specimens ob- 
tained in Greenland, but its specific validity is questioned by 
many ornithologists. It seems to have occurred three times 
in that country. 
*Redthroated Diver (Colymbus septeutrionalis). ‘ Karksauk.”— 
Found on the East Coast and breeds in both Inspectorates, as also 
on the western coast of Davis Strait. 
tGreat Northern Diver (Colymbus glacialis). “ Tudlik.”—Ob- 
served by Graah on the East Coast, on the West breeds generally, 
but more in the South than in the North, where indeed it seems to 
be rare. Examples of this bird from the Fur Countries and west 
ef North America, with a pale-coloured bill, have been described 
as forming a distinct species, under the name of C. Adamsi, but 
the like are to be met with in Europe. 
Gannet (Sula bassana). ‘ Kuksuk.”?— Accidental and 
rare. 
Cormorant (Phalacrocorax Carbo). “ Okaitsok.’—Said by Hol- 
boll to breed from the Godthaab Fjord northward so far as he had 
been, Observed also on the East Coast. 
*Redbreasted Merganser (Mergus serrator). “ Pajk,” “ Nyalik- 
sak.” 
+Barrow’s Goldeneye (Clangula islandica). “ Keertlutorpiarsuk,” 
more properly “ Niakortok.”—Breeds in South Greenland only, and 
apparently not further north than Godthaab. 
Buffelheaded Duck (Clangula albeola).—One obtained at 
Godthaab about the year 1830. 
+Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus torquatus). “ Tornauiarsuk,”— 
Observed on the East Coast: most common between lat. 62° and 
65° N., rarer to the northward. The male of this species, from its

in Parry’s Second Voyage.
