Locally commoa. One egg taken out of a specimen. 



73. Harelda glacialis. Long-tailed Duck. 



This Duck became very numerous after we had left the 

 forest. 



74. SoMATERiA MOLLissiMA. Eider. 



Only seen in the very lowest parts of the river that we 

 visited, and then not in great numbers. No eggs were 

 obtained. 



i7b. SoMATERiA sPECTABiLis. Kiiig-Eidcr. 



One male was shot by Hill at Golchika, and a nest, sup- 

 posed to belong to this species, was found, but no eggs were 

 in it when discovered, and it was subsequently deserted. 



7Q. CEdemia nigra. Scoter. 



Common at Toorukhansk. Eggs were obtained by navi- 

 gating a piece of ice to an island in a lake. 



77. (Edemia fusca. Velvet Scoter. 



A pair was seen on a lake at Doodinka, lat. 69° N. 

 (about) . 



-/-78. Mergus serrator. Merganser. 

 Scarce. 



79. Lagopus rupestris. Rock-Ptarmigan. 



We often saw Ptarmigan, mostly wild single birds, while 

 on the river, and in flocks on the sledge journey home- 

 ward, but whether they were L. rujjestris or L. albus I 

 cannot say. The only two obtained (killed near Golchika) 

 were L. rupestris. We found no eggs.

Numerous on the journey to Yeniseisk, but I saw only 

 one, on the Koorayika River, after leaving that town.

Corn-Crakes were heard only at Yeniseisk for the first time 

 on June 3rd.
