278 TUKDUS SIBIRICUS. T. PILARIS. 



TURDUS SIBIRICUS, Pallas. 



[§ 1220. One. — Toomkhansk, Jennesei Valley, 16 June, 1895. 

 From Mr. C. B. Hill, 1896. 



Mr. Hill accompanied Mr. H. Leyborne Popliam on his journey to Siberia, 

 and the latter published (' Ibis,' 1897, pp. 89-108) valuable notes on tbe birds 

 they observed in tbe valley of the Jennesei. Of this species he says {t. c. p. 92) 

 that it was often to be seen, but owing- to its extreme wariness difficult to obtain. 

 " It was most numerous around Toorukhausk (lat. 66^ N.). We got several 

 nests supposed to belong to this species, but we were never able to thoroughly 

 identify the eggs further than seeing the birds in the immediate vicinity of the 

 nest." Mr. Hill's note sent with this specimen is " Bird seen leaving nest."] 



TURDUS PILARIS, Linnjeus. 



FIELDFARE. 



§ 1221. One. — Norway. From Mr. Ilewitson, through Mr. 

 Chapman, 1843. 



Mr. Chapman, of York, shewed me a list of eg-gs, in Mr. Hewit- 

 son's handwriting, which had been sent in exchange for some he had 

 let Mr. Hewitson have; amongst tliem were several Fieldfares', of which 

 this is one. It was the specimen which Mr. Chapman had selected 

 and, as I saw, gummed into his cabinet, and is very neatly blown — 

 evidently with great care. INIr. Hewitson found Fieldfares breeding 

 abundantly in societies in Norway. ^
