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 
TURDIDZ 
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 
banks by the shore. 
MOTACILLIDA 
Motacilla alba LINN. White Wagtail. 
Bielo Tresogushka (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.
