Abstract
IN the February number of British Birds Miss M. D. Haviland continues her account of ornithological observations made in the delta of the Yenisei, dealing in this instance with the little stint. So fearless during the nesting season were these birds that it was with difficulty they were kept far enough away from the camera to admit of the taking of a satisfactory photograph; and a brooding cock captured by the author in her hands, when, released returned to the young. In six out of eight instances the sitting birds were cocks, but whether both sexes take their share in incubation was not ascertained.
