and found it frequent ‘on the banks of the river wherever I 
went. 
TEREKIA CINEREA (Giuld.). 
The Terek Sandpiper arrived at our quarters on the 8th of 
June, and was common on the banks of the river and islands 
as far north as lat. 70°. 
Limosa Lapponica (Linn.). 
The only trace of the Bar-tailed Godwit which came under 
my notice was a single bird which Schwanenberg’s mate 
shot for me on the Brek’-koff-sky islands ee the spring 
migration. 
ToraNus GLAREOLA (Linn.). 
Next to Temminck’s Stimt the Wood-Sandpiper was by 
far the commonest Wader in the valley of the Yen-e-say’. I 
shot the first on the 6th of June atthe Koo-ray’-i-ka, but did 
not meet with it north of lat. 69°. 
Toranus ocHropus (Linn.). 
I shot my first Green Sandpiper on the 15th of June, on 
the Arctic circle. It was by no means a common bird. On 
the 6th of July, at Egarka, in lat. 67°, I found a nest of this 
bird in a willow tree, about six feet from the ground, con- 
taining one egg. I did not meet with it further north ; but 
on my return journey, early in August, I found it common 
on the banks of the river near Yen-e-saisk’. 
VANELLUS vuLGARIS, Bechst. 
I did not meet with the Lapwing until we had nearly 
reached Tyu-mane’ on the return journey. 
CHARADRIUS PLUVIALIS, Linn. 
I shot the first Golden Plover on the banks of the Koo- 
ray’-i-ka on the 7th of June, and found it common on the 
tundra as far north as we went. On the return journey I 
spent some hours near Vare’-shin-sky, in lat. 69°, on the 
29th of July, and saw several pairs of Golden Plovers. They 
were very anxious to lead me away from their young. Occa- 
sionally they uttered their plaintive cry from the ground, but
