ZOOLOGY. 
[API*. N° III, 
Larus Ilissa:— KittywaJce. 
Common throughout the Greenland Seas. 
Larus Parasiticus: — Arctic Gull. 
Seen occasionally; but not numerous. 
Lakus Crcpidatus :— Black-toed Gull or Boatswain. 
Seen at Cape Swainson, S:c.; but not numerous. 
Lards Eburneus : — Ivory Gull (Phipps), or Snow Bird, 
Seen in considerable numbers along the coast. 
Lards Glaueus:— Burgomaster. 
Many of these birds were met with, and several very 
fine specimens were shot and preserved. 
Emukuiza Nivalis:— Snow Bunting. 
Not numerous. 
Charadrids Iliaticula : — Ring Plover. 
Shot at Cape Hope, and on Jameson’s Land. 
Tetrad Lagopus ?— Ptarmigan ? 
■This bird, of which several were seen by the sailors, and 
some of them killed, both on Jameson’s Land and Traill 
Island, was not brought on board. It was so tame that it 
was knocked down with stones. The sailors described it 
as a partridge. Professor Jameson thinks it was most pro¬ 
bably the white grouse, or ptarmigan, which is mentioned 
by Fabricius, Gieseeke, and Itoss, as occurring in Green¬ 
land. The tameness is indeed somewhat characteristic of 
this species, even in those found among the mountains in 
Scotland. 
Fkingii.la Linaria?— Lesser Redpole. 
Several birds, supposed to be of this species, were seen 
among the rocks at Cape Hope, and on different parts of 
Jameson’s Land. They are mentioned by Muller and 
(jicsccke, as natives of the Wcstern Coast of Greenland,
