BIRDS OF IVIGTUT. 



LOON. 



immATOB IMBEB. 



Quite common, as far as I have been able to learn. 

 It does not arrive until the middle of May (earliest seen 

 May 15), but remains through the whole season, and 

 sometimes till late in the autumn. Thus I noticed one 

 Nov. 18, 1887, the day before the fjord froze over. In 

 the spring it is not seen on the fjord until the beginning 

 of July, and hatches here very late, probably because the 

 upland lakes are not yet free of ice. I have obtained 

 from the Greenlanders several sets of eggs in July, and 

 two sets taken in August. 



RED-THROATED LOON. 



TTRINATOR LTJMME. 



Common in the innermost part of the fjord during the 

 whole summer. On the 21st of July, 1888, I found one 

 pair with their young upon a small lake seven hundred 

 feet above sea-level.
