518 Mr. H. L. Popham on Birds 



150. TOTANUS FUSCUS. 



A single example of the Spotted Redshank was shot on 

 Aug. 9th. The legs of this bird are alternately red and 

 black, having two broad bands of blaek above and below the 

 knees, leaving the knees and feet red. 



151. ToTANUS CANESCENS. 



I saw a few Greenshanks at Yeniseisk, and one at the edge 

 of the same pool where I shot one on my previous visit. 



152. ^Terekia cinerea. 



Terek Sandpipers appeared on June 5tli at Yeniseisk ; we 

 had not seen these Sandpipers so far south in 1895. 



153. ^LlMOSA LAPPONICA. 



Although we obtained two clutches of eggs of the Bar- 

 tailed Godvvit in 1895, we did not find any nest in 1897, 

 possibly because we had not the time to devote to such a 

 long search as is required to find a nest of this bird. 



154. numenius arquata ? 



155. *Sterna macrura. 



Arctic Terns were common and nesting at Golchika and 

 on the islands in the estuary. 



156. Sterna longipennis. 



At Yeniseisk I shot one of these Terns on May 25th, 

 having the bill black with a little red at the base, and the 

 legs dull red; and at Toorukhansk on June 17th I shot one 

 of a pair having a black bill and dark red legs. 



157. *Larus canus. 



All the Common Gulls that I shot on the Yenisei on both 

 journeys had the bill plain yellow, without the greenish base. 

 They had arrived at Yeniseisk before us, and as long as we 

 remained there were almost daily seen flying slowly north- 

 wards in small flocks. In the forest-region they are common, 

 but do not appear to extend north of the growth of trees. 



Larus argentatus ? 

 (Dr. Theel.)
