An examination of tlie above table gives the following re- 

 sults, 60 far as we are able to judge from the data at 

 command. 



Of the 113 species mentioned (PhyUoscopiis neglectus (Hume), 

 true to its name, having been inadvertently left out in the num- 

 bering), we find only 16 species which are undoubtedly resident, 

 and two others — the Bullfinch and Yellow-hammer, to which I 

 have attached queries (?) — though I believe they may be con- 

 sidered as very early migrants, along with the Snow Bunting, 

 Lesser and Mealy Eedpoles. 



Of these 1 6 Residents, however, the Hooded Crow, though resi- 

 dent at Ust Zylma, is said by the natives to be migratory 

 between that and Gorodok (or Pustozersk), arriving at Gorodok 

 about the lOth May and quitting it in the dead of winter. 

 On the other hand, the Magpie is said to remain there 

 all winter, appearing, therefore, to be more hardy than its 

 convener. 



Of the remainder, which, for convenience, we may class under 

 Migrants — 95 in number— the Snow Bunting, Lesser and Mealy 

 Redpoles, would appear to be the earliest to arrive, if we put 

 aside the two species I have marked as doubtful, viz., the Bull- 

 finch and the Yellow-hammer. The House-sparrow appeared to 

 gain additions to its numbers in May; but I feel also some- 

 what doubtful about its being really a migrant, as suspicions 

 of its presence as early as the 15th April — the day after our 

 arrival at Ust Zylma — w^ere so strong as almost to amount to a 

 certainty, although we did not succeed in procuring specimens 

 until the 18th May, after which time they rapidly became more 

 plentiful. 



Of the other undoubted Migrants, 25 species were not observed 

 to pass or visit Ust Zylma or Habariki up to the time we left, 

 viz., the 11th June. These were Nos. 4, 39, 53, 54^, 57, 6G, G7, 

 71, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 83, 95, 96, 98, 99, 103, 104, 107, 108, 109, 

 110, and 111 of the above list. Of these 20 species we may, I 

 think, reasonably suppose that the following really did not pass 

 Ust Zylma or Habariki, but reached their breeding grounds by 

 a more direct route or routes : some probably striking north from 

 Ust Ussa, as before suggested; others reaching their breeding 

 stations by following the coast line — as, for instance, Lams
