\} 2468. Three. — Toomkkansk, Jennesei Valley, 15 June, 1895. 

 From Mr. C. B. Hill, 1896. 



Mr. Hill informed me that the bird was shot from this nest, and its skin was 

 in the possession of Mr. Popham, who wrote in ' The Ibis ' for 1897 (p. 96) :— 

 " We obtained a nice series of the beautiful eggs of this Bunting, which show 

 great variation in size, ground-colour, and markings. The birds were by no 

 means uncommon, and were remarkably tame at their nests, returning to their 

 eggs at once if we withdrew a few yards from the spot, so that there was 

 never any difficulty in satisfactorily identifying their eggs after we had shot 

 one or two birds to make certain. Six nests were discovered, the greatest 

 number of eggs in one uest being five,''}
