They found the traces of the snow-hare, which inhabits the complete circle of the Arctic re- gions of the globe. The Arctic fox, everywhere at home in the treeless wastes, is here also pursued by the northern glutton; and following the herds of the reindeer, the wolves, and the Samoiedes, roams up and down the tundra. The ptarmigan, which in Scandinavia and on Melville Island feeds on berries and buds, appears also as a summer visitor at the mouth of th, e Taimur in 75 4' N. Lat. , and the ivor...y gull of the northern European seas likewise builds its nest on the rocks of that distant shore. The more vigorous vegetation on the sheltered declivities of the Taimur pro- vides food for a comparatively greater number of insects than is found on the coasts of Nova Zembla. Bees, hornets, and three different species of butterflies, buzzed or hovered round the flowers, and caterpillars could be gathered by dozens on the tundra, but their mortal enemies had pursued them even here ; and ichneumon flies crept out of most of them.
