3 juv. Gigalowa, 17. viii. 1903. (Nos. 395, 396, 397.) 



East-Siberian birds, like those from the Japanese islands, 

 have generally larger bills than European examples, but the 

 form can hardly be distinguished. 



According to Mr. Hall, these birds were very numerous 

 between Vercolensk and Irkutsk. 



Mr. Hall says that Passer domesticus was nesting in 

 Ustkutsk, 12. vi. 1903, but he omitted to collect specimens.
