CVANECULA SUECICA. 



The Blucthroat was common in the south and tlie north, 

 but rare in the centre, of our route. 



Phylloscopus trochilus. 



The Willow-Wren was common and breeding throughout. 

 AYe shot several for identification, and searched carefully for 

 Phylloscopus borealis, but could not discover it. A Willow- 

 W^ren's nest on the south shore of the Imandra contained six 

 fresh eggs on July 8. 



Parus cinctus. 



The Lapp Tit was common throughout the forest-region 

 and was the only Tit we obtained or identified. 



[Pleske records Parus borealis from near Kandalax 

 (Lawrow) and from the Kola river, while Mr. Pearson 

 records P. camtschalkensis from Petschenga. (Ibis, 1899, 

 p. 525.)] 



MOTACILLA ALBA. 



A few pairs of White Wagtails were generally to be seen 

 near every small Lapp settlement passed on onr route. 



MOTACILLA VIRIDIS. 



The Grey-headed Wagtail was very common on many of 

 the marshes in the centre of our route, but was absent in the 

 south and north. 



Anthus pratensis. 



From the Imandra northward the Meadow-Pipit was 

 very common in suitable localities. It was especially common 

 on marshes near the Pulozero. 



Anthus cervinus. 



We found the Red-throated Pipit near Ekaterina on the 

 north coast only. Although Mr. Pear«on took eggs at 

 Petschenga on June 22nd, we found eggs only slightly 

 incubated at Ekaterina on August 4th, which points to the 

 rearing of a second brood notwithstanding the lateness of 

 the season. 



Anthus trivialis. 



Only one specimen of the Tree-Pipit was obtained. The
