Abundant on the shores of Possession Bay and of Regent’s Inlet. The indivi- 
duals which were killed corresponded to the description of Temminck, except 
that the colour of the tail feathers was pale-brown at the base, differing in 
shade into almost black ; the outer feather on each side, both shaft and web, 
being a pure white, as well as the tips of the whole twelve.

Breeds in the North Georgian Islands. The specimens which were killed 
agreed in all respects with the description of the full-plumaged bird in Tem- 
minck and in Wilson. The peculiarity in the hind toe of this species seems 
to have escaped the observation of the generality of authors ; Wilson being 
the only one, amongst those who are referred to above, who has noticed it. 
It turns inwards, instead of taking as is usual, a straight direction backwards. 
The legs are deep orange-red during the height of the breeding 
season.

Rare on the coast ofiDavis’ Strait and of Baffin’s Bay, and in the islands of 
the Polar Sea. The specific name of Alpina, by which this species was distin- 
guished in the Memoir on the Greenland Birds, has been changed to Variabilis,
