Cbaradrius pluvialis L. 



In Jan Mayen I saw two Golden Plovers June 26*. Un- 

 fortunately I did not succeed in securing any of them.

The Ringed Plover was seen in Jan Mayen and in Green- 

 land in great numbers. It certainly breeds commonly in both 

 places. In Jan Mayen it was mostly seen on the seashore eating 

 washed-up Calanus (and perhaps other crustaceans), whereas in 

 Greenland it is quite as frequently seen on the mountain slopes 

 and in the river valleys. It seems here to feed upon vegetables 

 and insects. (The last specimen was seen August 1^^, but this 

 may possibly be accidental.) 



Strepsilas interpres (L.). 



1 saw the Turnstone on a moory mountain slope between 

 Jameson Land and Liverpool Kyst. The bird moved lively about 

 in the twilight of the night. 



Numenius phaeopus (L.). ^^/e. ^^/e. ^^/e. 



June 20*^ a Whimbrel came to the ship. Having tried in 

 vain to perch on the top yard it flew away in ESE. direction. 

 In Jan Mayen a few were seen.
