hitherto observed in Greenland.

other to the southern part of that country, there is, I believe, 
no reason to suppose. 
3. Falco peregrinus, Linn. 
Not so common as the former. I think there is no difference 
between the Peregrine from Greenland and the European one; 
but I am not competent to express an opinion as to the distinction 
between F. peregrinus and F. anaturn. 
4. Nyctea niyea (Thunb.). 
Very common: in summer more numerous in the northern 
than in the southern part of Greenland. 
5. Ot.us brachyotus (Gmel.). 
A scarce bird in Greenland. 
6. * Hirundo rufa, Bp. 
Nearly thirty years ago a specimen was obtained atFiskensesset 
by the late botanist Dr. Vahl, and sent to the Boyal Museum. 
A second was shot at Nenortalik and procured for the Royal 
Museum in 1856. As far as I am informed, these two speci¬ 
mens are the only ones ever met with in Greenland. 
7. * Troglodytes palustris, Wils. 
Only one specimen has been obtained (in May 1823, at Godt- 
haab), and sent to the Royal Museum. 
8. *Regulus calendula (Linn.). 
A very recent addition to the Avifauna of Greenland, a dried- 
up specimen in the flesh having been sent to the Royal Museum 
last year from Nenortalik. 
9. Saxicola cenanthe (Linn.). 
10. *Mniotilta coronata (Linn.). 
I know of three instances in which this bird has been ob¬ 
tained in South Greenland during the last twenty years. The 
specimens are in the Royal Museum. 
11. *Mniotilta virens (Gmel.). 
A specimen sent from Julianehaab in 1853 to the late Mr. 
Steenberg, and presented by him to the Royal Museum, is the 
only one which has come under my notice.
