tion he gives is founded partly on what he may have read of the 

 species, 1 and partly on his own observations and what he had 

 gathered from others concerning H. glacialis. 



In the library of the Christiania University there is the MS. 

 of a Journal kept by Strøm from 1756 to 1780, 2 and containing 

 the subject matter from which he worked up the chapters treating 

 of the natural history of Søndmøre. In the said Journal, which is 

 not paged, the species in question is found recorded in the fol- 

 lowing passages, under the name of „Anglemage", but without 

 mention of time or place. Much, too, has been crossed out, which 

 plainly evinces the author's uncertainty with the subject. 



a. „Anglemager er som en Teiste, sort med en hvid Ring om 

 Øynene, floker sig samman og raaber ligesom Angla (Havcelde, vide 

 Klein p. 133) " The parenthetical clause has been struck out. 



This is plainly Harelda glacialis in summer plumage, a belief 

 which Strøm himself originally entertained. 



b. Anglemagen ligner den saa holdte Penguin, macula alba ante 

 oculum, dersom den ikke blev beskreven med en hvid Ring om Hal- 

 sen og dobbelt saa stor som en Alke. This has all been struck 

 through. 



This, it appears, is not an original observation. The meaning 

 of the pronoun ,,den" in the phrase „dersom den ikke 11 is not clear. 



c. Anglemagen, sort og hvid med en hvid Streg over Øynene, 

 . ... er Hig Alken i Næbbet, som er langt og krumt, og meget hastig 

 at duke under og komme op igjen, liden Top. 



d. Anglemagen er uden all tvivl Colymbus minor s. Ducher, 

 beskrives af Linnæo som cristatus. (This too has been struck out). 



These remarks, too, collated, as it appears, with the descrip- 

 tion of a grebe, originate in information obtained from others. 



e. Anglemagen, større og længere af Kr op end Alken, og mere 

 hvid, især Hunnen, de har en hvid Riet over Øyet, langt krumt Næb,
