34. Chapman (F. M.) on the Birds of Greenland. 
[Report on Birds received through the Peary Expeditions to Greenland. 
By Frank M. Chapman. Bull. Am. Mus. N. H. xii. pp. 219-244 (1899).] 
Mr. Chapman reports on three collections of birds made 
during the recent Peary expeditions to Greenland, and pre¬ 
sented to the American Museum of Natural History by 
Mr. M. K. Jesup. The f Peary 9 collection contains 82 
specimens obtained at various localities; in the f Dyche 5 
collection are 244 specimens acquired by Professor L. L. 
Dyche during the Peary Expedition of 1895; and in the 
“ Eiggins 99 collection are 162 specimens collected by Mr. J. 
D. Eiggins, who was naturalist to the Peary Expedition of 
1896. The whole series, comprising about 500 specimens, 
is referred by the writer to 48 species, none of which—as 
might have been anticipated—are new to science; but many 
of them are of great interest, as they are examples of birds 
in immature plumages or changes of dress which are not 
often obtained. Mr. Eiggins’s excellent field-notes are 
indicated by his initials.
