492 Mr. H. L. Popham on Birds 



Pomatorhine Skua, my experiences in 1897 differed from 

 those in 1895. This may partly be accounted for by my 

 endeavours to fill up^ as far as possible, the gaps in my 

 former list and to search for eggs that I did not bring home 

 in 1895. 



I have to thank Mr. H. E. Dresser for his kindness in 

 looking over the skins that I brought back, of which I now 

 give a list, with the addition of a few that I was able to 

 identify without obtaining a specimen. Where I have 

 nothing to add to my remarks already published in ' The 

 Ibis,' 1897, p. 91, I have merely given the name of the 

 bird. 



To make this list as perfect as possible I have also included 

 some birds observed by Dr. Theel, of the Swedish expedition 

 in 1876 (mostly at Krasnoyarsk, where I had no opportunity 

 of collecting), and by Seebohm during the following year, 

 although I have not personally met with them in the valley 

 of the Yenisei. In these cases I have merely given the 

 name of the species, with the name of the observer and the 

 locality in brackets, and included the queries when these 

 occur in their original lists. 



Many of the birds which I observed at Yeniseisk were not 

 seen farther down the river, but it does not necessarily 

 follow that these do not occur farther north ; for my time 

 ashore at various places was often so short that it was quite 

 impossible to secure or see more than a very small pro- 

 portion of the species frequenting the locality. The latitudes 

 given are approximate. An asterisk has been placed before 

 the names of those birds which have been proved to nest 

 in the valley of the Yenisei at, and north of, Yeniseisk. 



1. *TURDUS MUSICUS. 



The Song-Thrush nests at Yeniseisk and up to lat. 63° N., 

 but is not very common as compared with other members of 

 this family. 



2. *TURDUS ILIACUS. 



Redwings are not so gregarious as Fieldfares ; they were 

 nesting in Yeniseisk and elsewhere^ indifferently in the pine-
