Tringa canutus L. 



On the 26*^ of July I saw two old Knots and a young bird 

 running about seeking food on the sandy beach of Deichmann's 

 Fjord. Two old birds were seen in Dunholm July 28**^. In 

 both places the birds were comparatively shy. In the Dunholm 

 they were seeking their food among the sea-weeds on the shore. 

 The old ones still had some red feathers on the lower parts. 



Tringa alpioa L. 



On the lO*'' of July a few Dunlins were seen in Sabine 

 in the fens at the south side of the island, west of Germania- 

 hafen. They were certainly breeding in this place, but I did 

 not find the nests. A single specimen was seen at Кар Dalton 

 on the 18*'' of July. In August they gather together with Calidris 

 arenaria in great numbers on the sands of Hurry Inlet, a 

 regular Eldorado for waders. 



Strange to say they were not found in the river valley which 

 separates the Liverpool Kyst from Jameson Land. 



Tringa sp.? 10/7. 2f/7. 



In Sabine and in Turner Sund I saw a Tringa — both 

 times at the coast — which was neither canutus nor alpina; 

 I suppose it vas Tringa maritima^ to which bird it at least 

 had the greatest resemblance. Both times it flew past very 

 quickly. 



Calidris arenaria (L.). 



In August the Sanderling is found in vast numbers in the 

 inner part of Hurry Inlet, on the sands formed by the river 

 delta. They partly keep in flocks by themselves, partly mingle 

 with the considerable flocks of Tringa alpina, so commonly 

 seen at this place. 



Up along the banks of this same river they were not seen.
