98 NEWTON ON BIRDS IN GREENLAND. 



(1J/..) Dendrceca blackburnice ? Orange-throated Warbler. 



A young bird shot at Frederikshaab, 16 October 1845, has 

 been referred to this species with hesitation owing to the bad 

 state of the specimen. 



(^5.) Parula americana. Particoloured Warbler. 



One sent from the Southern Inspectorate in 1857, in a very 

 bad state, but quite recognizable. 



{16.) Helminthophaga ruficapilla. Nashville Warbler. 



Obtained twice : — once at Godthaab about 1835, and again 

 at the Fiskenaes, 31 August, 1840. 



(^7.) Geothlypis Philadelphia. Mourning Warbler. 



One obtained at the Fiskenses in 1846, another at Juliane- 

 haab in 1853. 



{1§.) Troglodytes palustns. Long-billed Marsh-Wren. 

 One procured at Godthaab in May 1823. 



{19.) Regulus calendula. Ruby-crowned Wren. 

 One sent from Nenortalik in 1859. 



7. Saxicola cenanthe. Wheatear. " Kyssektak." 



Known to breed in Greenland from the time of Otho Fabricius, 

 and, according to Holboll, extending its range to lat. 73° N. and 

 even further. Strays also to the westward, and observed by 

 James Ross, 2 May, 1830, in Felix Harbour (lat. 70° N., long. 

 91° 53' W.). Obtained on Shannon Island by the German 

 Expedition (Finsch). The peculiar distribution of this species in 

 the northern part of the Nearctic Region has yet to be explained 

 (c/. Yarrell, Br. B. ed. 4, i. pp. 352, 353). 



{20,) Turdus migratorius. American Robin. 



An adult male shot near Kornuk in the Godthaab Fjord 

 (Reinhardt, Vid. Medd. 1865, p. 241). 



{21,) " Turdus minor. ''^ 



One specimen, so named by Prof. Reinhardt, obtained in 

 June 1845, at Amaraglik, near Godthaab. Prof. Baird says 

 it is difficult to say which of the three North- American 

 species is thereby meant (Am. Journ. Sc, ser. 2, xli. p. 339). 



{22.) Turdus iliacus. Redwing. 



One sent to Dr. Paulsen in 1845, another shot at Frederiks- 

 haab, 20 October, 1845. 



{28.) Motacilla alba. White Wagtail. 



One sent from the Southern Inspectorate in 1849, another, 

 obtained by Dr. Walker, at Godhavn, in August 1857. 



8. Anthus ludovicianus. Pennsylvanian Pipit. 



Supposed to breed in Greenland not further south than lat. 

 67° N., but unquestionably does so in the northern parts of the 

 North- American continent.
