Allen (1905: 219) quoted Buxton: ‘‘All of the birds in the collection labeled ‘Gichiga’ were collected within a radius of 35 miles from my station at Kooshka, which is situated on the left bank of the Gichiga River in latitude 62°42′E. The greater part of them were collected within a radius of 10 miles.’’ The coordinates of Kushka are given as 61°58′N, 160°19′E (Times Atlas), located near the mouth of the Gizhiga River. A full itinerary was given by Buxton in Allen’s (1903: 101–119) report on the mammals collected.
