hitherto observed in Greenland.

48. *Limosa cegocephala (Linn.). 
Fabricius mentions that he had seen a single specimen (Fn. 
Gr. p. 107 ); and after his time the bird is said to have been ob¬ 
tained once more, nearly forty years back, at Godthaab; the 
specimen was sent to the Royal Museum, but seems not to have 
been preserved; at least, I have not been able to find it. 
49. Tringa canuta, Linn. 
50. Tringa maritima, Briinn. 
51. Tringa cinclus , Linn. 
Probably this species breeds in Greenland; but, as far as I 
know, the nest has not yet been found. 
52. Tringa schinzii, Bp. 
53. *Tringa pectoralis, Bp. 
The Royal Museum received a specimen of this bird in 1851, 
the first, I think, ever captured in Greenland. Two more were 
sent in 1859 from Nenortalik. 
54. * Tot anus flavipes, Lath. 
Pastor Moschler relates that he received a single specimen 
of this bird from “ Greenland” in 1854 (Journ. f. Ornith. 1856, 
p. 335). I never saw it myself. 
55. Calidris arenaria (Linn.). 
A scarce bird in Greenland; breeds on Disco Island. 
56. Phalaropus fulicartus (Linn.). 
57. Phalaropus hyperroreus (Linn.). 
58. *Macrorhamphus griseus (Gmel.). 
There is, I believe, only one well-established instance of this 
Snipe being observed in Greenland, namely at Fiskensesset in 
1854 (Ichth. Bidr. p. 20). 
59. Gallinago media , Steph. 
This Snipe has been observed so often in Greenland, that it 
very likely may in future be found breeding there; but as yet 
no eggs have been sent from Greenland, as far as I know. 
60. *Ortygometra crex (Linn.) 
I am aware of one case only in which this bird has been mis-
