It was not until several years after that I found another bird toy on wheels. This specimen was in the collections. Fig. 3. of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin. Recalling the Aino toy I made a hasty sketch for comparison. The form of the bird differed somewhat in having a longer neck, a better defined head and the wheels of the toy being circu- lar. This specimen was labelled Yakuts, Yena, Siberia. Unfortunately I made no measurements of the specimen though the rough sketch here presented (fig. 3) gives its general appearance in outline. My attention was not again.
