The Expedition wintered in Cumberland Sound, and visited the pre- 
viously-explored region about Lake Kennedy, in lat. 66° N., long. 73° W., 
the laud or water to the W. being still unknown. Greenland, as far as 
Disco, was also visited, and 84 species of birds are here noticed. If 
correct, some of the statements are remarkable, such as that Tringa sub- 
arquaia is not uncommon in North Greenland, eggs being procured at 
Christianshaab ; and iha,i Stercorarius pomatorrhinus nests in hundreds on 
inaccessible cliffs at Disco Island, and lays three eggs.
