exceptional numbers round about — flocks of about 100; 13th,

although the country is quite bare of snow; October 9th, now, 
when the country is covered with snow, a single Snow Bunting

which during the past 14 days has stayed among my pigeons, has 
suddenly disappeared.

every day; 8th, one or two seen, snow a foot deep; 12th, two 
seen; 28th, today and the foregoing days one has stayed about

The Snow Bunting, which is so numerous in the Polar countries, 
breeds everywhere along the coasts of Greenland in large numbers and 
has been met with by all expeditions to the east coast. On the Denmark 
Expedition it was also seen frequently, even as far north as lat. 83°30 N. 
Е. Lenn SCHIØLER has drawn my attention to the fact that the 
Greenland Snow Bunting, including those he has received from the east 
coast, belong to a separate race which, by its peculiarities of plumage 
and by the large bill, differs from the typical form. It is probably reason- 
able to presume that the Snow Buntings living at Angmagsalik belong 
to this race; Brehm had already given those appearing in Greenland a 
special name.
