 it has in fact more yellow than any specimen I have seen." 



33. "^Anthus gustavi. 



My first example of the Siberian Pipit was obtained 

 at Toorukliansk on June 19th, and my only nest in lat. 

 69° 40' N. on June 26th. This nest was in a rather swampy 

 place among the dwarf willows, well hidden under a tussock 

 of grass, the long grass falling over and completely con- 

 cealing the four eggs, which are larger than those of Anthus 

 cervinus and measure '98 in, by -65 in. The bird, when 

 disturbed from its nest, fluttered along on the ground to lead 

 me away from the eggs. 



34. *Anthus cervinus. Red-throated Pipit.

 Tree-Pipits were common at Yeniseisk. 



36. Anthus richardi. 



On the open meadow-land adjoining the town of Yeniseisk, 

 Richard's Pipits Mere scattered about in pairs on June 6th, 

 and they probably nest there ; but I left Yeniseisk too early for 

 their eggs. I had, however, several opportunities of watching 

 the birds, which would take short flights into the air, 

 hover for a little while, and then drop down into the grass, 

 where, if I moved, they would stand erect on their long 

 legs, with necks stretched up at full length, presenting a 

 very odd appearance. 



37. Oriolus galbula. 



The Golden Oriole was observed at Yeniseisk in 1895, but 

 not in 1897. 



38. Lanius major. 



During my return journey by road from Yeniseisk to 

 Krasnoyarsk I often saw Shrikes on the telegraph-wires, 

 which I supposed were L. major. 



39. Lanius ph(enicurus. 



I saw no Shrikes on my way down stream, but on 

 August 8th I secured a bird of the year out of a family-
