NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 295 



Parus caudatus, L. Is tolerably conimon throughout the Perm 

 Government, except in the woodless parts. 



Farus cyaneus, Pall. Is very common throughout Perm, 

 especially on the banks of rivers and lakes. Its northern 

 boundary was not defined by me. Bashk. and Mesch., Temirternak: 

 all Tits are called " Maigas." Kuss. — in some parts — Slepushky ; 

 Zirian, Sirchih 



Eversmann mentions {I.e.) P. cijaneus as visiting the Volga 

 and Kama, but Bogdanoff {I.e.') did not find it there in 

 summer. I can, however, positively state that it breeds near 

 Moscow and in the Government of Jaroslav. 



Parus major, L. Is common everywhere. Mesch., Josheb-maigas ; 

 in Perm, Kusveschnik. 



Parus caeruleus, L. In contradistinction to Parus cyaneus, this 

 species belongs only to Western Europe, but on the Eastern slope 

 it has been observed in spring. 



Parus cristatus, L. Most likely it occurs only on the western 

 slope, and has only once been seen on the eastern declivity. 



Parus cristatus and Parus coeruleus are rather rare on the upper 

 Volga, but they are rather common in the Governments of Moscow 

 and Jaroslav. 



Parus ater, L. Occurs in the fir woods of the Perm Government, 

 where it is not uncommon. It seldom breeds, however, in the 

 pine forests, and on the western slope it is scarce, and occurs 

 only during migration in the birch woods. 



Pai'us sibiricus, Gm. This species is included in the present 

 list on Martin's authority, who observed it on the eastern slope of 

 the Ekaterinburg Ural, about 56° N. lat. Hoffmann {I.e.) met 

 with it at 62° N. lat., and according to Nordmann, it breeds 

 in Lapland {I.e.) 



Parus palustris, L. Common everywhere. 

 Sitta uralensis, Licht. Inhabits all the coniferous forests of the 

 Government of Perm, but cannot be called common in the 

 Kaslinsky and Keshtemsky forests. 



Bomhicilla garrula (L.) On the south-eastern slope of the Perm 

 Ural it is not very numerous during migration, but in the 

 Pavdinsky Dacha it certainly breeds. On the 26th May, 1868, 

 I met with an example in a wood between the Viatka and Perm 

 Governments, which evidently tried to mislead my dog from its 

 nest. Russ., SiveeristeL
