20. The birds, which we found in the region between Novaya Zemlya and Franz-Josef Land were of the following species:—the long-tailed Robber Gull (_Lestris_, K.); the black Robber Gull without the long tail-feathers; the Burgomaster Gull (_Larus Glaucus_, B.); the Ice or Ivory Gull (_Larus eburneus_); the Kittiwake (_Rissa tridactyla_, L.); the Sea-swallow (_Sterna macrura_, N.); the Arctic Petrel or Mallemoke (_Procellaria glacialis_); Ross’s Gull (_Rhotostetia rosea_); two species of Auks (_Uria arra_, P., and _Uria mandtii_, L.); the Greenland Dove (_Grylle columba_, Bp.); the Rotge (_Mergulus alle_, V.); the Lumme (_Mormon arcticus_); the Eider-duck (_Somateria mollisima_, L.); the Snowy Owl (_Strix nivea_); the Iceland Knot (_Tringa canutus_); the Snow-bunting (_Plectrophanes nivalis_, M.). Most of these occurred also on the coasts of Franz-Josef Land. 21. We can here only allude generally to those forms of animal life which were taken by the drag-net on the south of Franz-Josef Land, and brought to Europe in the collection of Dr. Kepes, and of which I made seventy-two drawings. To Professor Heller, of Innspruck, and Professor Marenzeller, of Vienna, the expedition is indebted for the naming and arrangement of those specimens, and while I refer my readers to their fuller account in the _Mittheilungen_ of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of Vienna, I limit myself here to a few of the results of their observations. The investigation of the invertebrate Fauna of the sea through which we passed was necessarily limited from the moment that the course of the _Tegetthoff_ ceased to be under our control. We had, in the first place, no zoologist on board, and from the drifting ship nothing more could be done than letting down the net almost daily during the weeks of summer—which Lieutenant Weyprecht did—and dragging it for some hours. The greater part of the animals so taken were immediately sketched by me, in order that, in the event of the loss of the original objects, some sort of representation of the animal world of a region never before investigated might be preserved. The issue justified a caution which must always be kept in view in Polar expeditions. Of the abundant shrimp-family of the Arctic seas there are four species among the collections we formed, namely:—_Hippolyte payeri_, Heller, n. sp., _Hippolyte turgida_ (Kröyer), _Hippolyte polaris_ (Sabine), and _Hippolyte borcalis_ (Owen). The _Hippolyte payeri_ was found at the depth of 247 metres, and was of a beautiful pink colour and had blue-black eyes. There were found besides: _Crangou boreas_ and _Pandalus borealis_ (Kröyer).
