BIRDS. 151 We occasionally saw one or two common gulls, and onepair of Siherian herring-gulls. In addition to the above-mentioned birds, we frequently saw oth^rs that we were yetunable fully to identify. Thus, we often came upon largesand-pipers on the marsh, whose cry was like that of theredshank; they were probably the dusky redshank. Thebreast was black and the rump barred. We also saw a largeflock of ducks, of a heavy species, flying overhead, which weput down to be the eider-duck. In the woods and forests of Haburiki, we did not oncemeet with the raven, the bullfinch, or yellow-hammer; norwith any species of pipit or OLU KUSoiAN SlLViiU CKUSS.
