General Remarks concerning the Fauna der Ukraine und 

 der Steppe am Dneiper, are to be found in the ' Keise im 

 sudlichen Russland von Blasius/ n, s. 314, u. 285. 



The animal world of the Ukraine has in this work been so richly illus- 

 trated as to show that the species of the middle and south Russian Fauna 

 here occur in mutual association. While, upon the one hand, the Bear and 

 Elk here attain their southern limit of range, numerous other species, which 

 belong rather to the south, reach the northern boundary of their roamiugs. 

 The main body of animals consists only of those that are found in the middle 

 of Europe northward of the Alps. The Roe completely agrees in character 

 with our own ; its occurrence is striking, since it is not met with in an 

 easterly direction as far as the Ural, nor westward unto Volhynia and Lithu- 

 ania. Mi/ox its dn/as is not rare ; several species of Sousliks, among which is 

 Spermophilus guttatus, occur ; Arctomys bobac is frequently kept in a tame 

 state ; Arvicola glareola is as frequent in the woods as arvalis is in the fields. 

 While in the north, as low down as Petersburg, only a single Bat occurs : 

 all the species of middle Europe are here met with. Among the rapacious 

 animals, Nustela sarmatica affords a characteristic type. Although most of 

 the characteristic species, that animate the south and steppes, advance for 

 the first time further southward and south-east, still the Fauna of the south
