A nest with five nearly fresh eggs was taken at Nijni Kolmsk, 

 June 16, 1915. It was placed in a tuft of grass, 10 feet inside the 

 fringe of willows that lines the banks of the Kolyma. The nest is 

 composed of rather course grass, lined Avith hair and one grayish- 

 white feather. It is about 3| inches in diameter outwardly and the 

 egg cavity, which is rather shallow, about 2| inches in diameter. 



The eggs are olive buff in ground tint, profusely spotted rather 

 evenly over the entire surface, with very minute spots of wood brown 

 and some purplish shell markings. They measure as follows : 19.6 by 

 14.9, 20 by 14.8, 20.2 by 14.6, 19.5 by 14.4, 19.4 by 14.3 mm. 



65. ANTHUS GUSTAVI Swinhoe. 



One male, Nijni Kolymsk, June 17, 1915. 



I have compared this specimen with a series from Bering and 

 Copper Island; it appears to be more heavily streaked below, but 

 does not seem to differ otherwise. It measures : Wing, 83 ; tail, 54 ; 

 culmen, 13. 



66. ANTHUS, species? 



One immature, Emma Harbor, August 5, 1914. 



This is a young bird not long from the nest; too young to be 

 identified with any degree of certainty at present, except that it 

 probably does not belong with the above species. 



Family ALAUDIDAE. 



67. OTOCORIS ALPESTRIS EUROA Thayer and Bangs.» 



Six males, 7 miles north of Nijni Kolymsk, May 14, 15, and 16, 

 1915. I can add nothing to the account of the describers. The above 

 series measures as follows :
