 BuDYTES FLAVUS siMiLLiMUs Hartert. 



KAMCHATKAN YELLOW WAGTAIL. 



4 single Yellow Wagtail was seen at Cape Shipunski, May 21, 1913. 



On June 14 and 19, 1913, three males and two females were taken 

 at Providence Bay. Two of the males are typical simillimus, but 

 the rest show intermediate characters with B. f. alascensis, but are 

 still of a sufficiently bright yellow on the underparts to refer them to 

 similliinus. 



Clark in his paper on The birds collected and observed during 

 the cruise of the United States fisheries steamer Albatross in the 

 North Pacific Ocean, and in the Bering, Okhotsk, Japan, and East- 

 ern Seas, from April to December, 1906, (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 1910, 38, p. 71), states that two examples from Plover Bay, which is 

 a small bay near the mouth of Providence Bay, appeared to be inter- 

 mediate; one being nearer alascensis, the other nearer simillimus.
