party of these Shrikes, and on the following day saw otliers, 

 when in lat. 62° N. (about). 



40. Ampelis garrulus. 



Waxwings were seen occasionally on my way down the 

 river, and while watching for a Little Bunting to return to 

 its nest a pair perched on a tree close by me. 



41. MUSCICAPA GRISOLA. 



A single example of the Spotted Flycatcher was shot at 

 Yeniseisk on May 28th. 



42. MUSCICAPA LATIROSTRIS. 



One specimen was obtained at Yeniseisk on June 8tli. 



43. MUSCICAPA PARVA. 



On May 22nd at Yeniseisk I shot a Red-breasted Fly-

 at the mouth of the Lower Tungooska river. 



44. HiRUNDO RUSTICA. 



Swallows arrived at Yeniseisk on May 23rd, a week earlier 

 than in 1895, and had all left again when I returned on 

 August 14th. 



45. ^Chelidon lagopoda. 



Siberian House-Martins appeared at Yeniseisk two days 

 later than the Swallows, but were still flying round the 

 church-towers in swarms in the middle of August. I was 

 again too early to get any eggs, bnt observed them furiher 

 north than I had done two years before, the last pair that I 

 saw on my way north being in lat. 69° 40' N.

47. COCCOTHRAUSTES VULGARIS. 



On June 13th, at Inbatskaya (lat. 64° N.), I shot a 

 Hawfinch, which was probably a straggler, since no one else 

 has previously reported its occurrence in the valley of the 

 Yenisei, so far as I am aware.
