dead tree, and composed of small twigs and dry grass lined 

 with moss and a ievf hairs. We met with this bird between 

 the latitudes 66° and 69° N. 



15. Parus major. Great Tit. 



On our sledge journey to Yeniseisk we often saw Great 

 Tits at the villages, also at Omsk and Yeniseisk. 



- 16. MoTACiLLA ALBA. White Wagtail. 



This was one of the first of the migrants to arrive at 

 Yeniseiskj and one of the last birds seen at Khabarova in 

 the Ugor Straits. We took seven eggs from a nest made 

 in the cabin of a boat hauled up on the shore at Yeniseisk. 

 We met with it as far down as Golchika, but in far less 

 numbers than the following. 



17. MoTAciLLA ciTREOLA. Ycllow-lieaded Wagtail. 

 Very common all the way down the river. A large flock 



made their first appearance at Yeniseisk on May 19th, and 

 we were constantly coming across their nests afterwards. 



18. ]\IoTACiLLA MELANOPE. Grcy Wagtail. 



On May 18th three appeared at Yeniseisk, and later on I 

 secured a specimen there, but tbat is all we saw of them. 



19. Anthus gustavi. Pechora Pipit. 



I shot a Pipit, then unknown to me, on June 20th, which 

 proved to be the Pechora Pipit. 



-J 20. Anthus cervinus. Red-throated Pipit. 



Quite the commonest bird on the tundra, above the limit 

 of trees. Many clutches of eggs were taken. The eggs 

 show considerable variation, one in particular being of quite 

 a dark cofi^ee-colour. 



21. Anthus trivialis. Tree-Pipit. 



A solitary example was obtained at Yeniseisk. 



22. Oriolus galbula. Golden Oriole. 



A pair were seen in the forest near Yeniseisk, and a 

 specimen was secured from a small flock of these brilliant 

 birds a couple of days afterwards.
