the staff at Akraberg for their help and for
the interest they took in the bird migration.
Also we thank Dr. Jon Fjeldsá of The
Zoological Museum of Copenhagen who
placed the collection of feathered skins at
disposal previous to the observations. In
this way, Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe and
Redwing Turdus iliacus were examined with
a view to the identification of subspecies in
the field. The Meteorological Office in Copen-
hagen also helped to establish a survey of
the weather conditions during the period.
We thank lecturer Jørgen Rabøl, Copen-
hagen, for his critical reading of the manu-
script.
A detailed report in English of the period
of observation is to be found in the bird
department of Føroya Náttúrugripasavn,
Tórshavn.
In connection with the drawing out of the
report and the manuscript, especially cand.
mag. Jørn Skeldahl has been of inestimable
help.
