Norwegian sailors by the name of " Eingel." It was not ob- 

 served by any of our party, nor seen last year by the Swedish 

 Expedition. 



Keilhau mentions a " Brokfugl * (Char, morinellus) " which 

 he found dead on the roof of an old Russian hut in Stans Fore- 

 land; but he was no ornithologist, and I incline to believe with 

 Dr. Malmgren (1864, p. 412) that the bird was very possibly 

 a Ringed Plover.

I have already referred to an example of what was, I believe, 

 a Turnstone seen by myself in Advent Bay on the 13th July last 

 year; and though I admit that the principle of including in 

 a local list any species which has not been actually procured 

 is faulty, yet I think I can hardly in this case have been 

 mistaken, the more so as, the very same day. Dr. Malmgren told 

 me he was nearly sure he bad also recently observed this 

 species in the upper part of Ice Sound.

This bird appears to be tolerably numerous along the coast 

 as far north as Brandywine Bay. I am indebted to Messrs. 

 Evans and Sturge for specimens of its eggs, which they 

 obtained in Coal Bay in 1855; We were too late to procure 

 any. Dr. Malmgren, on his former voyage, observed a flock 

 on the shore of Kobbe Bay so early as the 28th May ; last 

 year he saw it in the interior of the Stor Eiord, and also met 

 with it on Bear Island.
