in scparate groups froni Barrow’s Goldeneyes wliich winter in some numbers

4. Icelandic specimens arc referable to Bucephala clangula clangula. Statements
in tbe literature referring to this species breeding in Iceland are unsub-
stantiated and are probably based mainly on Millais’s doubtful sight record
(see above) of a femalc witli young and partly on Nielsen’s specimens whiclt
were wrongly identified. Records since 1960 indicate, however, that the
Common Goldeneye is a regular winter visitor in SW. Iccland, ancl a few
occur every year at Mývatn. Whether the recent apparent increase is real
or only a result of increased observations is not known.
Bláklukkulyng
(Phyllodoce coerulea)
Bláklukkúlyng vex víða í ijöllunum báðum
megin við utanverðan Eyjafjörð. Surns staðar
heim að túnum, t. d. á Stóru-Hámundarstöð-
um. Einnig fundið í Hrísey sumarið 1967.
Á Austfjörðum vex það allvíða á norður-
strönd Loðmundarfjarðar. Sumarið 1965
fannst bláklukkulyng einnig á Desjarmýri í
Borgarfirði eystra. Sennilega vex það víðar á
Austfjörðum norðanverðum.
