NEWTON ON BIKDS I?^ GREENLAND. 99 



{2Jf.) Anthus pratensis, Meadow-Pipit. 



Received by Dr. Paulsen from Greenland in 1845. 



{25.) Otocorys alpestris. Shore-Lark. 



One shot at Godthaab in October 1835, but known before 

 to occur on the other side of Davis Strait: e.g., at Cape 

 Wilson, 10 July, 1822. 



9. Flectrophanes nivalis. Snow-Bunting. " Kopanauarsuk." 

 Breeds generally throughout the country, and said to be the 



commonest land-bird on the Eastern Coast (Pansch). Breeds also 

 on Melville Peninsula, and is very numerous on the Parry Islands. 

 Seen by Kane at Rensselaer Harbour in June 1854. 



10. Plectrophanes lapponicus. Lapland Bunting. "Nark- 



sarmiutak." 

 Also breeds generally throughout the country, as well as on 

 Melville Peninsula and other lands to the westward of Davis 

 Strait. 



11. ZoNOTRiCHiA LEUCOPHRYS. White-crowned Bunting. 

 Seems to be confined to Southern Greenland : not numerous, 



but certainly a breeding bird, though its nest has not as yet been 

 found in the country. 



12. LiNOTA LiNARiA, Mealy Redpoll. " Orpingmiutak," 



" Anarak." 

 Said to breed generally throughout Greenland, suitable localities 

 being, of course, understood, but is migratory there. Seems to be 

 indistinguishable from the FHngilla linaria of Linnaeus, the F. 

 borealis of most English authors, but not their F. linaria, which 

 is a much smaller and more rufescent form. 



13. LiNOTA CANESCENS. Greenland Redpoll. 



Said to be constantly resident, and a regular breeder, but not 

 further south than lat. 70° N. Occurred also in Kaiser Franz- Josefs 

 Fjord, 1 August, 1870 (Finsch). The Linota hornemanni oi Hol- 

 boU, and possibly the ^giothus rostratus of Dr. Coues. 



{26^ Looda leucoptera. American White-winged Crossbill. 

 An adult specimen procured about 1831 from the east 

 coast by an Esquimaux. Subsequently another adult and three 

 young were obtained in South Greenland. 



(^7.) Xanthocephalus icterocephalus. Yellow-headed Maize^ 

 bird. 

 One obtained, 2 September 1820, at Nenortalik, 



{2§,) Sturnus vulgaris* Starling. 



A single specimen sent by HolboU. (Qu. S, fceroensis, 

 Feilden, if that be a distinct species ?) 



14. Corvus corax. Raven. " Tullugak," " Kernektok." 

 Breeds more in South than in North Greenland, and also observed 



on the East Coast. Several pairs seen on Melville Island. A
