Very much like the last species and there is essentially no difference in its gen- eral habits, nesting, eggs and other peculiarities. Abundant in Alaska, breeding along the Yukon and the shores and Islands of Norton Sound. Nests commonly' on the Island of St. Michael's, depositing four eggs in nests, which are mere hollows in the ground with a few blades of grass for lining. In June and July it breeds abundantly on the islands in the bays along the Arctic coast and also in the Barren Lands. The eggs exhibit as great variation as those of E. pusillus. Nelson describes their ground color as pale clay, shading toward pale brownish-clay. In many in- stances, usually among the larger eggs, the ground color is nearly or quite con- cealed by fine, light reddish-brown spots or specks.
