Nelson and Elliott both saw ravens on St. Lawrence Island. Bailey 

 writes that a few were " seen daily by Hendee on St. Lawrence Island, 

 where they were preying upon the cliff-nesting birds." He saw some 

 there himself as well. 



Collins found this bird breeding quite commonly on the island 

 and procured an adult female at Gambell on August 16. (PL 4.)

 Budytes flavus leucosiriaius, Nelson, Report upon natural history collections 



made in Alaska, p. 206, 1887. 



The only data on this bird in St. Lawrence Island is Nelson's state- 

 ment that it is " found along the entire Bering Sea coast, wherever 

 suitable localities are found, extending its range to St. Matthews and 

 St. Lawrence Islands." 



St. Lawrence Island birds should be carefully studied, as it may 

 be that they may turn out to be shnillhna Hartert. Hartert ^^ writes 

 that simillhna seems to breed only in Kamchatka and wanders over 

 Bering Island, east Siberia, and Chosen. As far as I know, no one 

 has actually collected any specimens on St. LaAvrence Island.
