8. MOTACILLA OCULARIS SwinllOC. 



81341 (3595) 9 (?). Port Providence, Plover Bay, Siberia, Aug. 14, 1880. 



Only one individual certainly seen; occurring with Budytes flava in 

 the vicinity of the native summer tents ; very hard to approach. Judg- 

 ing from the uniformly small number of specimens of this bird secured 

 by collectors in Plover Bay, the species seems to be rare in that locality. 



9. Budytes flava (Linn.) Gray.

These wagtails were present in small numbers on the spit at Port 

 Providence, and they were exceedingly shy. They were seldom seen at 

 the tents, but usually in the grass. They were sometimes heard in the 

 air, chirping while in flight. 



A single wagtail was seen flying towards the point of the spit at Port 

 Providence, September 13, but I could not determine the species. 



It may not be out of place here to remark that, on the 15th of Sep- 

 tember, Mr. Baker and Captain Herendeen, of the coast-survey party, 

 walked through a divide leading from Port Providence to Moore Lake 

 and saw no birds except ravens. The few land birds still remaining at 

 this port were near the sea-shore.

The Little Koniushi Island example was found at the top of the ridge 

 overlooking Northwest Harbor, at least 1,000 feet above the sea level. 



At Cape Lisburne most of the specimens seen of this wagtail were in 

 a little valley through which runs a small stream, and on the low plateau 

 east of this stream. They were feeding on seeds of Saxifraga mainly.
