510 Mr. H. L. Popham on Birds 



Geese which laid the golden eggs/^ for I found no nests in 

 1897 in the place where we had found four nests on our 

 previous visit. 



Cygnus music us ? 



(Dr. Theel records it at Krasnoyarsk and Yegarka, lat. 

 67° 25' N.) 



102. '^Cygnus bewicki. 



Eggs and young in down of the Bewick^s Swan were taken 

 on the BrekhofFski Islands. This was the only Swan I was 

 able to identify on the Yenisei. 



103. Anas boscas. 



A few Mallards were seen at Yeniseisk. 



104. Spatula clypeata. 



A single Shoveler flew past me at Yeniseisk. 



105. ^QUERQUEDULA CRECCA. 



Teal were numerous up to lat. 70° 30' N. 



106. QUERQUEDULA CIRCIA. 



I did not observe the Garganey in 1897, as I did in 

 1895. 



107. QUERQUEDULA FORMOSA. 



Near Yeniseisk a male Baikal Teal was shot at daybreak, 

 and a few others seen in the same district, where this hand- 

 some Duck was well known to a local flight-shooter, who 

 said it nested there. The call-note resembles the word 

 " clock, clock.'' 



108. ^DaFILA ACUTA. 



Pintails extended from Yeniseisk up to lat. 72° N. 



109. "^Mareca PENELOPE. Wigcon. 



110. ^Fuligula marila. 

 Scaups nest up to lat. 70° 45' N. 



111. FULIGULA CRISTATA. 



I saw only one Tufted Duck at Yermakovo, a short distance 

 north of the Arctic circle.
