In the following are named the most important works which have 
hitherto appeared on the birds of East Greenland, and of which several 
have been cited in the foregoing. 
W. SCORESBY JUN.: Journal of a voyage to the northern Whale Fishery. 
Edinburgh 1823. — The voyage in 1822 went from about lat. 70 to 
about 75° N. А list of the birds observed is given. 
D. Cu. CLAVERING: Journal of a voyage to Spitzbergen and the East 
coast of Greenland; in “Edinburgh New Philos. Journal”, 1830. — 
The voyage in 1823 was from 73—75° N. A few birds are mentioned 
including swans. 
W. A. GRAAH: Undersogelsesrejse til Østkysten af Grønland, Kjoben- 
havn 1832. — The Journey (by boat) in 1828—31 was from Cape 
Farewell to about lat. 65° N., the winter being spent on the East 
coast. A list is given of the species which Graah himself had seen, 
and also of those which according to the Greenlanders were to be 
found on the East coast. A number of skins were brought home to 
the museum. 
From the same journey there are, in VAHL’s unpublished letters 
and diaries, many reports of the birds, especially on the most southerly 
part of the East coast. 
С. Horgørr: Ornithologiske Bidrag til den grønlandske Fauna in 
“Naturh. Tidsskrift”, IV. Vol., København, 1843. — Some of the 
species met with by Graah and Vahl are mentioned. 
For more than half a century after Graah’s journey only one report 
appeared on the birds on the East coast, viz. О. Finscu in the section 
“Vogel” mit Noten von A. Pansch in “Die zweite deutsche Nordpolar- 
fahrt in den Jahren 1869 und 1870 unter Führing des Kapitän Koldewey”’. 
Leipzig 1873—74. — The journey was to the northern part of the East 
coast between lat. 73 and 77° N., spending the winter at Pendulum 
Island. In this is the first more detailed description of the birds of 
the East coast. 
Meddelelser om Gronland IX and X. Den ostgronlandske Ex- 
pedition udforti Аагепе 1883—85 under Ledelse af С. Holm. 
Kobenhavn 1888. — Contains a report of a voyage in a boat along 
the coast and a description of it from Cape Farewell to Angmagsalik 
in about lat. 66° N., where Holm spent the winter. Holm names — 
particularly according to reports by the natives — the birds appearing 
at Angmagsalik and refers to their capture. (Vol. X, p. 54). 
Е. Bay: The section “Hvirveldyr” in Meddelelser om Grønland 
Vol. XIX. — The observations were made on the East Greenland
