154. NuMENius ARQUATA (Linn.). 



The query can be removed from my former list (IbiSj 1897, 

 p. 106), as we both saw and heard Curlews at Krasnoyarsk 

 and Yeniseisk. 



157. *Larus canus Linn. 



A Common Gull's nest was found, placed on the top of a 

 stump about 12 feet high. 



162. *Stercorarius crepidatus (Banks). 

 No Skuas of any kind appeared to be nesting except a 

 pair of Ricbardson's Skuas which had one egg at Golchika. 



167. *C0LYMBUS ARCTICUS LiuU. 



In the forest region the Black-throated Diver is more 

 numerous than the Red-throated Diver. 



168. PODICEPS GRISEIGENA (Bodd.). 



Three Grebes were seen at Yeniseisk by Peck, which he 

 thinks were Red-necked Grebes.

59. Procnias tersa (L.). 



A series of adult males and females and immature males 

 from Santo Domingo and Gualea, W. Ecuador, must be 

 referred to the subspecies P. occidentalis, and those we 

 collected at Archidona, at the foot of the Eastern Andes, to 

 P. tersa tj/pica. The latter ai'e of a decidedly deeper blue, 

 and not so distinctly barred about the sides of the abdomen, 

 while the tail is blacker and less edged with blue on the 

 upperside. The female is of a much yellower green than 

 in the Western form. Owing to their protective colouring, 

 they are less often seen than the males. They frequent 

 the open clearings around the huts, and I never once saw 

 them in the forests. At Santo Domingo they eat a hard 

 green fruit, like an English sloe in size and shape, and it 

 seems wonderful how they can swallow anything so large.
