Abstract

A party of five visited Vest-Spitsbergen in July 1954 to catch flightless geese for ringing. Catches were made in Reindalen and Sassendalen. 526 Pinkfeet, 23 Barnacles and 74 Light-bellied Brents were ringed. The methods of capture are described, and various improvements suggested. A list of the recoveries of Pinkfeet marked during this expedition and in Gipsdalen in 1952 is appended.
