observed in the Kola Peninsula.

Emberiza schceniclus. 
We identified the Reed-Bunting first at Raz-Navolok, near 
the northern end of the Imandra Lake. From this point to 
Kola it was met with rather frequently. 
Plectrophenax nivalis. 
Calcarius lapponicus. 
Snow-Bun tings and Lapland Buntings were seen at 
Ekaterina only, and were very uncommon there. 
[Pleske records Alauda arvensis and Otocorys alpestris 
from near Kola.] 
Perisoreus infaustus. 
Siberian Jays were very common from Kandalax to Kola, 
and usually acted as our scavengers, hopping about when 
the camp was asleep and seizing upon any tit-bits to be found. 
Pica rustica. 
We saw two or three Magpies at Kandalax, but nowhere 
else. 
Corvus CORNIX. 
We found the Hooded Crow nowhere common, but observed 
a few from Kandalax to the middle of the Imandra and also 
near Kola. 
Corvus corax. 
We saw Ravens near Ekaterina only. Pleske records this 
species from the Imandra, Kolozero, and Kandalax. 
[Pleske records Cypselus apus from Kandalax (Mela and 
Enwald).] 
PlCOIDES TRIDACTYLUS. 
The Three-toed Woodpecker was very common from 
Kandalax to Kola, and was the only Woodpecker we saw. 
Twice we disturbed birds from apparently suitable nesting- 
holes, but in each case there were neither eggs nor young, 
although the bird behaved as if our discovery of its retreat 
was of some importance.
