10 Messrs. Robinson and Kloss on Birds from the 
with much difficulty owing to the surf, though the sea was 
very calm. On the loch were great flocks of Red-throated 
Divers. I counted 69 in front of me, and there were twice 
that number in the distance. Very striking also was the 
number of Arctic Skuas, and amongst them were several 
Great Skuas. As many as a dozen would sit within gunshot 
of me at one moment. The only other inhabitants of this 
dreary waste were a few Great Black-backed Gulls and 
hundreds of Arctic Terns, on the proceeds of whose fishing 
the Skuas probably lived. 
The following morning I landed again, hoping to explore 
further, but, though there was no wind, the swell had 
increased, and after taking a few photographs I was com¬ 
pelled to leave. The dinghey was half filled with water and 
nearly upset, but we got off with the loss of an oar, and I 
was sorry that the fear of rising wind deterred me from 
further exploring this remarkable place. The only bird 
added to my list of the previous evening was the Great 
northern Diver. 
After a visit to a whaling-station I left Iceland.
