BIRDS OF KOLGUEV 419 



had concerning Kolguev, he naturally included that island in his 

 column containing the records of birds from Kanin and the Lower 

 Petchora. 



In the following list (R.) = Russian, (S.) = Samoyed. I have ventured 

 to save myself the responsibility of spelling Russian names by taking 

 these as they are given in Mr. Dresser's work on the Birds of Europe. 



BIRDS OF KOLGUEV 



TURDID.E 



Saxicola cenanthe (linn.). Wheatear. 

 Poputchik Podorojnik (R.). 



I saw but a single Wheatear. An immature bird. It appeared at 

 Scharok on August 20, during a time of severe gale and thunder from 

 the NW. From that day till September 6, it sat about on the little 

 hanks by the shore. 



MOTACILLID^ 



Motacilla alba linn. White Wagtail. 

 Bielo Tresognshka (R.). 



There was a single pair by the Gusina River on June 24. On August 

 21 there were five birds, two old and three young, on the shore at 

 Scharok. On August 26 I saw a family of six birds on a little pond in 

 the Gobista country. Later on we had a small influx of young and old 

 birds at Scharok. They apparently arrived on three successive days, 

 and seemed to be working down the coast. 



Anthus cervinus (pallas). Red-throated Pipit. 



I never saw a single individual of this species on the eastern side of 

 the island, and on the western side it was far from common. A nest 

 taken on June 22 was composed entirely of grasses, and contained six 



eggs.
