Only one lonely straggler was procured on Bering Island, a full month 

 after the last M. lugens had been observed. Neither Kamtschatka nor 

 the islands seem to be in the regular route of this species, as but one 

 specimen is reported from the peninsula by Taczanowski. I myself did 

 not meet it there. See also further on under " Conclusions."
