Abstract
“WE stayed in Lepsa until May 17. We obtained soma varieties of lizards, one kind of frog, and a toad, a kind of fish like the barbel, and all sorts of varieties of cobitis, but no salmon. We obtained only a few beetles and butterflies, but we had a rich collection of the flora. On May 13 and 14 we made a short excursion into the mountains and found several new kinds of birds differing decidedly from the European kinds, e.g., the Cinclus leucogaster, with the white belly, the Motacilla personata, the Pica leucoptera, a fine Carduelis, and a splendid specimen of the red-finch.
