called by the sportsmen Fircmkoo. It did not, however, come 

 under my observation. 



Jynx torquilla, L. Is very common, particularly about the birch 

 woods of the Ekaterinburg district, and has been found by us in 

 the Pavdinsky Dacha. 



Ficus ccmiis, Gm. Has not been found on the eastern declivity 

 north of Ekaterinburg. On the western slope it is rather 

 common, but does not breed in the birch woods of the eastern 

 slope. Euss., Selenoy-diatel ; Baslik., Yaschel-tumurtka ; Ziridn, 

 Sez-sez. 



Ohs. Picus viridis has never been found by me, but it most likely 

 occurs on the south-west parts of the Perm Government, although 

 Bogdanoff (I.e.) states, in opposition to Eversmann's opinion 

 (op. city p. 100), that it is of rare occurrence in the Kasan Govern- 

 ment. 



Ficus martius, L. Throughout Perm, except in the woodless 

 parts. It is also common in the birch woods of the Province of 

 Ekaterinburg. Euss., Shelna ; Bashk., Kara tumurtka ; Zirian, Ker. 



Ficus leuconotus, Bechst. Its distribution is similar to that 

 of F. martins, but it is more numerous, especially in the birch 

 woods. 



Ficus major, L. Is met with everywhere, and is more abundant 

 than the White-backed Woodpecker (P. leuconotus) in the Ural 

 mountains. In the birch woods, however, it is remarkably 

 scarce. 



Ficus medius, L. We only obtained one specimen of this species, 

 which was got at the Pavdinsky works. 



Obs. Bogdanoff did not meet with it along the Volga, but I saw 

 it in the Government of Jaroslav. Mejakoff records it from the 

 Government of Vologda {ojj. cit.,ip. 629). Nordmann does not include 

 it in his " Birds of Finland." Lilljeborg {op. cit., p. 107) has found 

 Ficus minor in the Archangel Government, near 63h° N. lat. 



Ficus minor, L. Is not so common as F. major and F. leuconotus, 

 and apparently does not go so far north.* Mesch., Kesel-alla-tuhur- 

 tina. All coloured woodpeckers are usually called in Bashk., 

 Sabar-tumurtka ; Mesch., Sera-tukurtina ; Zirian, Sera-sez. 



Ficus tridactylus, L. Is not very numerous, but is widely 

 distributed. 



* (Seebohm and I met with it (Picus minor) beyond the Arctic circle, up to 

 67° 15' N. lat. on the Petchora.- J. A. H.-B.)
