26. ^Parus baicalensis. 



Mr. Dresser has identified the two skins that I brought 

 home from Yeniseisk as P. baicalensis. Near this town I 

 watched a pair of Marsh-Tits buikling in a hole in a dead 

 willow, but when I visited the place about ten days later I 

 found the forest had been burnt and the birds driven away. 



27. Parus cinctus. 



I did not shoot a Lapp Tit until I reached Yermakovo, 

 on my way up the river. 



SiTTA EUROryEA. 



(Seebohm, at the Koorayika river.) 



28. *M0TAC1LLA ALBA. 



White Wagtails were common everywhere ; their favourite 

 nesting- places were the stacks of wood prepared by the 

 villagers as fuel for the steamers. 



29. "^MoTACILLA PERSONATA. 



The Masked Wagtail is commoner than the preceding 

 species at Yeniseisk, but this place seems to be the limit of 

 its northern range in the Yenisei valley. 



30. "^MoTACiLLA ciTREOLA. Ycllow-headcd Wagtail. 



31. MOTACILLA MELANOPE, 



My notes contain no mention of the Grey Wagtail beyond 

 a single specimen shot at Yeniseisk on May 28th. 



MOTACILLA FLAVA. 



(Dr. Theel, at Krasnoyarsk and lat. 65° 35' N. ; and See- 

 bohm at Koorayika.) 



32. MOTACILLA VIRIDIS. 



At about lat. 68° N. I saw a pair of Grey-headed Wag- 

 tails and shot the male ; I afterwards saw another (?) on an 

 island in lat. 72° 30' N. Mr, H. E. Dresser describes my bird 

 thus : — '' It belongs to the northern form of Wagtail which 

 I have called M. viridis, and which Dr. Sharpe in the British 

 Museum Catalogue calls M. cinereicapilla (vol. x.) ; but this 

 specimen differs in having the entire throat and chin yellow,
