13. Faleo tinnunculus (Linn.), Kestrel.—One is said to have 
flown on board ship, off Cape Farewell, Greenland, on Parry’s 
first return voyage, and been killed (Sabine, Suppl. Appl., p. cex; 
Newton, Man. Instr. Arct. Exp., 1875, p. 96). 
14. Ardea cinerea (Linn.), Heron.—A young bird was found 
dead near Nenortalic, Greenland, in the year 1856, and was sent 
to Copenhagen (Reinhardt, ‘Ibis, 1861). On Aug. 27th, 1765, 
the missionary Matthzus Stach saw a Heron in Greenland, which 
has been reported as of this species (Cranz, ‘ Fortsetzung der 
Historie von Grénland,’ p. 214; Reinhardt, ‘ Ibis,’ 1861). 
15. Bernicla leucopsis (Bechst.), Bernicle Goose.— One was 
obtained by Mr. B. R. Ross, near Rupert House, James’ Bay, 
Hudson’s Bay (Baird, Am. Nat., 1868, p.49). One was obtained 
at Currituck Sound, North Carolina, Oct. 3lst, 1870 (Lawrence, 
Am. Nat., vol. v. p. 10; Ruthven Deane, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, 
vol. ii, 1877, p. 18, foot-note). One was killed at Jamaica Bay, 
Long Island, Oct. 18th, 1876 (Lawrence, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, 
vol. il., 1877, p. 18). This specimen is now in the U. 8. National 
Museum, No. 80015 (Ridgway, in lit.). One is reported from 
La Salle County, Illinois? (‘Forest and Stream,’ Nov. 28rd, 
1876). According to Hélboll, it is a regular autumn visitor to 
Julianehaab, Greenland (Reinhardt, ‘Ibis,’ 1861). Recorded by 
Graah from the east coast of Greenland (Newton, Man. Instr. 
Arct. Exp., p. 112). 
*(Chenalopex @gyptiaca (Gmel.), Egyptian Goose.—One was taken near 
Carnarsie, Long Island, Jan. 3rd, 1877 (Akhurst, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, 
vol. ii., 1877, p. 52). Although having ‘‘ every appearance of being a wild 
bird,” this specimen had probably escaped from confinement. | 
16. Cygnus musicus (Bechst.), Whooper Swan.—According to 
the Esquimaux it used to breed in Greenland long ago.+ Two 
specimens were sent from South Greenland in 1852, and one was 
shot at Atamik, ten Danish miles north of Godthaab, June Ist, 
1859. Some others were observed at Julianehaab in 1846 (Rein- 
hardt, ‘ Ibis,’ 1861). 
17. Querquedula crecca (Linn.), Teal.—In his paper on “ Birds 
of New England,” published in the Proc. Essex Inst., Dr. Coues 
says it has been ‘‘so often taken on the coast as to be fairly 
considered as more than an accidental visitor” (Proc. Essex Inst., 
+ Were these birds of this species ?
