The Birds of Angmagsalik. Ai 
LAPLAND BUNTING (Calcarıus lapponicus groenlandicus Brehm.). 
Laplandsverling, Sporeværlins. 
The Lapland Bunting is a fairly common breeding bird at Ang- 
magsalik. As to its appearance we have the following data: 
1900. May 13th 1908. May 26th 
1. — ih 109. = Bnd 
190% — ist 1913. April 30th 
1903. April 22th 1914. May 10th 
1905. Мау 14th 1815, — О 
1906. — 13th 1924. — 25th

Leaving out one very early comer and the especially late data, it 
thus appears that the bird arrives in the first half of May; it remains 
in the autumn until the end of September; it has only once been seen 
later, October 13th, 1914. 
It breeds commonly in West Greenland, and in East Greenland, 
outside of Angmagsalik, has only been met with once; has not been proved 
to breed elsewhere. On the Denmark Expedition it was only seen once. 
As regards the Lapland Bunting, too, В. Lehn Schiøler has informed 
me that those in Greenland form a special race (also mentioned by 
Brehm), easily recognisable by the large bill. The skin sent from Ang- 
magsalik clearly proves to belong to this large-billed race.
