Somateria mollissima, Leach. Sjelden.

Falmarus glacialis, Lin. Overordentlig talrig.

Er Landets Fauna fattig, er derimod Havets desto
rigere, hvorom Vidnesbyrd vil foreligge i samtlige zoologiske
Afhandlinger i denne Generalberetning.
Bemerkninger til Kartet.
KartprojectionenerMercators. Maalestokken 1: 200,000.
Navnene paa Kartet ere alle paaførte af mig. Jeg har
for det første beholdt alle de gamle hollandske Navne, i
Originalsproget eller oversatte. Dernæst har jeg beholdt
alle de af Scoresby og Carl Vogt givne Navne. Og
endelig har jeg tilføjet en Del nye Navne. " Disse ere:
Wey-prechts Bræ-, til Minde om den fremragende Polarfarer, hvis
store Plan til Undersøgelse af Polarlandenes fysiske Forhold
nu bliver realiseret; Kjerulfs Bræ, efter den berømte. norske
Geolog; Foyns Bræ, efter Capt. Svend Foyn. der var den
første Nordmand, som gik i Spidsen for de Norskes
Sælfangst ved Jan Mayen; Krater Sars, efter Expeditionen
Medlem, Prof. G. O. Sars; Clancleboye Creek, det Punkt,
hvor Lord Dufferin var i Land (efter velvillig skriftlig
Meddelelse fra Lord D.; se ogsaa-’Letters from High Latitudes",
Side 165); Lord Dufferins Bræ; Frieles Bræ, Griegs Bræ,
Will es Bræ, Petersens Bræ, Scliieiiz’s Top, efter Deltagerne
i vor Expedition; Krater Vøringen, efter Expeditionens
Skib: Høsaaten, det lille Krater i Nærheden af Hoyberg
(e’t Navn, der betegner et Tag over en Høstak, der minder
om den regelmæssige Kegleform1); Krater Danielssen, efter
Expeditionens Medlem, Dr. Danielssen, der botaniserede
her; Krater Blytt, efter Prof. A. Blytt, der har bestemt
de paa Jan Mayen indsamlede Planter; Tornøes Bæk, efter
Expeditionens Medlem, Chemikeren H. Tornøe, som fandt
denne, ret vandrige Bæk; Scoresby’s Berg, efter den berømte
Hvalfanger, hvem Jan Mayens Geografi skylder saa meget.
1 Meddelelse af Dr. Snellen i Utrecht.

Larus glaums, Briin. — Common.
Fidmarus glacialis, Lin. — Exceedingly abundant.
Grylle Mandti, Licht. — Abundant.
Uria arra, Schlegel. — Abundant.
Mergulus alle, Lin. — Abundant.
Tringa maritimo?
If the land Fauna of the island is meagre, that of
the sea is proportionately rich, a fact which the numerous
zoological Memoirs published in this General Report will
sufficiently attest.
Remarks on the Map.
The Map is on Mercator’s projection, scale ^TwrjinjiF’
All of the names are selected, by myself. First, I have
chosen to retain the old Dutch names,- either in the original
language or translated. Secondly, I have kept all the
names given by Scoresby and Carl Vogt. And finally, I
have added new names, viz. 1 Ve/jprecht’s Glacier, in memory
of the renowned traveller, whose comprehensive plan for
the investigation of the physical conditions of the Arctic
Regions is now in course of realisation; Kjerulfs Glacier,
after the celebrated Norwegian geologist; Foyn’s Glacier,
after Captain Svend Foyn, the first of his countrymen who
started a Norwegian sealing fishery off the coasts of Jan
Mayen; Sars’s Crater, after Professor G. O. Sars, member
of the Expedition; Chmdeboye Creek, the spot where Lord
Dufferin landed (as kindly communicated by that nobleman
from Constantinople; see, too, "Letters from High
Latitudes,"’ p. 165); Lord Dufferin’s Glacier; Friele’s Glacier,
Grieg’s Glacier, Wille’s Glacier, Petersen’s Glacier’. Schiertz’s
Peak, after gentlemen who took part in the Expedition;
the Vøringen Crater, after the name of the vessel;
Høsaaten (haycock), the small crater in the vicinity of Mount
Hoyberg (Hoyberg is a Dutch word signifying the roof of
a haystack1 that in form has some resemblance to a
volcanic cone); Danielssen’s Crater, after Dr. Danielssen,
member of the Expedition, who botanised on its slope;
Blytt’s Crater, after Professor A. Blytt, who has determined
the specimens of plants collected on Jan Mayen: Tornøe’s
Rivulet, after Mr. H. Tornøe, chemist to the Expedition,
who on one of our excursions found this for Jan Mayen
copious spring of water; Mount Scoresby, after the
enterprising British whaler to whom the geography of Jan
Mayen is so. greatly indebted.
