420 ICE-BOUND ON KOLGUEV 
Anthus pratensis (LINN.). Meadow Pipit. 
Stschewritza-lugowaya (R.). 
I have no evidence of the nesting of this bird on Kolguev. I first 
saw the meadow pipit on August 15, when, after a clear time and full 
moon, we had a visitation of a flock.

Plectrophanax nivalis (LINN.). Snow Bunting. 
Podoroschnik (R.). Oo-noint-sa (S.). 
The snow-bunting was established in many suitable spots, chiefly on 
the coast of the upper western and eastern sides of the island. I took 
six eggs from a nest on the Gusina on June 21. This nest, like others 
which we found, was composed of dead grasses and lined with white 
feathers of the willow-grouse. It was set deep down in a split in the peat 
of the clay bank which sheltered our tent. We found at Scharok that a 
pair of these birds had been nesting last year under the wooden covering 
of a Samoyed grave. During the last week in August a cock bird was 
constantly sitting on the turf roof of a hut at Scharok and singing 
splendidly, with a song which in some passages recalled that of the 
chaffinch. 
On the little island of Horno, by Vard6, at least three nests of these 
birds had flown by June 11. On the eastern side, I saw a cock bird 
with food in its bill, and on the western side two lots of young were 
flying about the rocks. On Kolguev, to the contrary, we saw a pair 
building under the overhanging snow of a stream bank on June 27, and 
young birds at Scharok first flew on July 11; and on July 24 I shot 
a male bird who was changing plumage. 
Calcarius lapponicus (LINN.). Lapland Bunting. 
Sizio (S.). 
No bird, except perhaps the shore-lark, was more abundant than this 
on Kolguev.
