observed on the Yenisei River. 513 



129. *Squatarola helvetica. 



The Grey Plovers Avhicli nest near Golchika evidently 

 reach their nesting-grounds by migrating down the river, 

 for I saw about ten Grey Plovers at Vorogova (lat. 61° N.) 

 on June 11th. Although we found four nests two years 

 previously, I did not find any in 1897, and certainly saw far 

 fewer birds on. the marshes near Golchika, where they were 

 breeding in 1895. I noticed none further north. 



130. ^tEgialitis curonica. 



I first observed Lesser Ringed Plovers on June 7tli at 

 Yeniseisk with a few Little Stints, and shot one of them. 

 A few more were seen at the first village at which we stopped 

 after leaving Yeniseisk. 



131. ^5j]gialitis hiaticula. Ringed Plover. 



132. ^EUDROMIAS MORINELLUS. 



I shot a solitary Dotterel at Yeniseisk on June 7th, 

 but did not meet with any more till I reached lat. 69°40' N. 



133. VaNELLUS GREGARIUS. 



At Vorogova on June 11th, in lat. 61° N., I shot a Sociable 

 Plover, which was in the company of about ten Grey Plovers, 

 and was no doubt a straggler. 



Yanellus cristatus. 



(Dr. Theel, at Krasnoyarsk.) 



134. Strepsilas interpres. 



I was disappointed in not being able to find a Turnstone's 

 nest on the islands below Golchika, where several of these 

 birds were seen. 



135. H^MATOPUS ostralegus. 



Oyster-catchers were observed on the Yenisei only in 

 1895. 



136. *Phalaropus hyperboreus. 



Red-necked Phalaropes extended as far north as we were 

 able to go (lat. 72° 50' N.). Several nests were found. 



137. *Phalaropus fulicarius. 



I had hoped to find another nest of Grey Phalarope's eggs,
