 for St. Lawrence Island. Thev have short bills — culmen lengths of 

 61 and 63 mm., as against 76 to 120 mm. in the adults. They have 

 darker, less whitish, rump feathers than a bird of corresponding ago 

 from Cape Bolskoi Baranov, eastern Siberia.

 recorded it as common east of Cape Chibukak, June 24, on the south 

 side of the island, June 25, and at the southeastern end on June 27,
