frozen tundra ; here the part}^ remained until August 28, 

 when they returned to England through the Kara Sea and 

 by the North Cape. Miss Haviland made good use of the 

 two months at Golchika. She explored the river-banks and 

 the tundra, and took the eggs of many rare Waders. Among 

 these, perhaps the most interesting was the Curlew Sandpiper, 

 which had only previously been obtained by Mr. Popham 

 at the mouth of the Yenesei, while Miss Haviland found it 

 nesting a long way farther south. Other interesting birds, 

 whose nesting habits are described and whose photographs 

 were taken, are the Grey and Red-necked Phalaropes, the 

 Eastern Golden Plover, the Little and Temminck's Stints, 

 the Bar-tailed Godwit, the Dotterel, the Siberian Herring- 

 Gull {Larus fuscus antelius), the Black and Red-throated 

 Divers, and the Long-tailed Duck. 



Miss Haviland has much to tell us of all these and many 

 other birds, of their migrations, their nesting and other 

 habits, and we hope to give our readers a short paper on 

 some of her observations in a forthcoming number of ' The 

 Ibis.' In the meantime we can only recommend all who are 

 interested in the life of many of our familiar migrants, when, 

 they leave us for their northern breeding places, to read this 

 charming account of Miss Haviland's, on whom some of 

 Seebohm's enthusiasm and energy seems to have fallen.

This report, formerly prepared by Mr. H. Winge, is now 

 drawn up by Mr. Hc^rring and follows much the same lines 

 as in former years. It contains (1) a list of the lighthouses 

 and lightships, the position of each of which can be very 

 easily fixed by the map wdiich accompanies the report; 

 (2) a list of the species of birds sent in to the Zoological 

 Museum at Copenhagen, with the dates and places where 

 they were taken; (3) a chronological list of birds observed
