The Birds of Angmagsalik. 237 
April ist. Hardly seen this winter, but now beginning to be 
seen singly. 
April 10th. Often seen. 
Autumn. 
Sept. 27th. Today I received some with plumage changing from 
a native from Kulusuk. 
Sept. 29th. I shot a number today, almost white, near the station. 
There are many in this district just now. 
Oct. 30th. А number seen today near the station; av all flew 
towards Sermilik (N.W.). 
Oct. 31st. A number seen here today, but as several feet of 
snow are lying owing to heavy falls during the past few days, 
they all disappeared after having flown about the houses a 
while. 
Oct. 25th. Saw several on a hunting trip and shot some. 
Sept. 21st. Shot 14 myself at the mouth of Tasiusak; saw flocks 
of about a score. 
Sept. 25th. I saw from here one flock after the other fly past, 
all coming from the east and going westwards. On a short hunt- 
ing trip in the afternoon I shot 9, saw perhaps more than 40, 
but they were unfortunately too shy for me to get within range 
of them. After having snowed during the past two days there 
is over a foot of snow lying. 
Oct. 29th. Shot a number. 
Dec. 11th. Hardly any ptarmigan. 
Sept. 19th. The ptarmigan are now almost white and at present 
there seems to be quite a lot of them. 
Dec. 26th. Only one or two seen. 
July 9th. Today received a nest of ptarmigan eggs — 9, taken 
at the east point of Tasiusak; there were half-hatched young. 
Sept. 20th. Unusually many in the neighbourhood just now. 
Sept. 23rd. Comparatively many are still being shot in this 
district. 
Oct. 14th. Ptarmigan quite disappeared again. 
Nov. 21st. Not seen one for a long time. 
Oct. 12th. Not a trace of ptarmigan just now. 
Oct. 20th. Yesterday and today one or two ptarmigan shot in 
the neighbourhood. 
Nov. 20th. No ptarmigan. 
Sept. 10th. Not a few ptarmigan seen and shot lately; mostly 
young birds, so that the summer seems to have been favourable 
to breeding owing to the dry weather.
