My workman brought in a fine Crane Grus fratercula in the evening - When we returned we narrowly escaped a dangerous bath in the river the dogs broke through the ice and only by dragging the sled quickly to one side did we escape going in also - 1044 Limosa uropygialis ♂ 1045 Squatarola helvetica ♂ [right page] 18th 18th Arose at 4 a.m, to find the weather cold and raw with showers of snow falling at intervals - Went down the river hoping to get some Emperor Geese but found no geese of any kind so turned up the river for about three miles to a point where the Uphoon and a large branch extend in different directions to the Sea Killed a number of geese among which were specimens of Branta leucopariae, B. hutchinsii and a [[strikethrough]] neu [[/strikethrough]] form which I believe adds a third variety to the series at present
