52 CATALOGUE OF 



55. Surf Scoter. (Oidemia perspicillata.) 



Eare. Benzon had one skin from Julianeshaab in 1878, 

 and in the same year one skin from Eginiarfik, in 68i° 

 N. lat. 



56. Greater Snoiv Goose. {Ohen hyperborea nivalis.) 



Quite rare, especially adult birds. Herr V. Miiller, of 

 Ivigtut, has informed me that in the month of June, 

 1884 (?), some Greenlanders near Proven (in 72° N. lat.) 

 where he then lived, brought him a pair of adult Snow 

 Geesq just captured. These birds were later secured by 

 Gov. B. Fencker, who added them to his collection. It 

 seems, therefore, not improbable that this bird breeds in 

 Greenland. 



57. White-fronted Goose. (Anser albifrons.) 



Breeds quite commonly between 66° and 72°. Eggs were 

 found on June 7 and June 24. 



58. Hutchins's Goose. [Branta canadensis hutchinsii.) 

 An occasional visitor. 



59. Brant. (Branla bemicla.) 



Common as a migratory bird along the whole coast ; 

 breeds possibly in the northern part of Danish Greenland. 



60. Barnacle Goose. {Branta leucopsis.) 



A regular autumn visitor to South Gi-eenland. 



[Reinhardt reported ,a rumor that had reached him of 

 eggs of this species being taken in Greenland, but this lacks 

 confirmation. — M. C]
