Hab. Northern parts of Europe, America, and Asia. In America not hitherto 
found in the western province. In winter extending along the Rocky Moun- 
tains and the plains as far south as Fort Massachusetts and Fort Riley; regu- 
lar visitor to shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. East of this rarely 
seen along the United States border. 
For the description and general remarks relative to this species I 
refer to the Birds N. Am. quoted above. According to Degland, 
the female differs in less extent of black of throat, the quills having 
the white or yellow confined to the ends of outer webs only, instead 
of on the inner webs also, and a less number and smaller size of 
the cartilaginous appendages. 
The specimen seen by Dr. Cooper, at Fort Mohave, if really of 
this species, fixes the most western locality on record. 
For many years authentic eggs of the Bohemian Chatterer were 
greatly sought after, but it was not until 1856 that any were brought 
to the notice of the scientific world, when the late Mr. H. Wolley 
discovered them in Lapland. Early duplicates from his collection 
were sold at five guineas each, and although a good many have since 
been obtained, they are yet considered as great prizes. A nest, with 
its eggs, of those collected by Mr. Wolley, has been presented to 
the Institution by Mr. Alfred Newton. The only instances on record 
of their discovery in America are of a nest and one egg by Mr. 
Kennicott, on the Yukon, in 1861, and a nest and single egg on the 
Anderson River, by Mr. MacFarlane, both of which, with the female 
parents, are in the possession of the Institution,
