Garrulus ■mfattstus, (L.) Is common in all the fir and pine forests 

 of the Perm Government. In the latter, however, it does not 

 breed, but often builds in birch woods. Euss., Kuhsha. 



Garrulus glandarius, (L.) Its distribution is very wide, and it 

 is rather commoner than the next species, being very abundant in 

 the oak forests of the Government of UfFa, and in the pine forests 

 of Keshtemsky and the Kaslinsky Ural. Russ., Sozka, hohrovaza- 

 sorochhc; Bashk., Umrari'Soiskan ; Zirian, Kenia. 



Nucifraga carijocatades, (L.) Is extremely numerous in the 

 northern parts of the Perm Government, but south of 57° N. lat. it 

 soon becomes rare. It is more common on the western slope than 

 on the eastern. Russ., Kedrovka; in Kaslinsky, where it is very 

 little known, Botrovaya-sorochka. 



According to Lehman (" Travels "), it" occurs in the forests of 

 Orenburg, but this has probably reference only to the Ural, and I 

 hardly think it breeds as far as the river Sackmara. 



Corvus monedula, L. Does not go far north, and is not 

 numerous about the Pavdinsky Dacha, and does not even remain 

 there to winter.* In the south, and particularly in the Bashkir 

 birch woods, it is very abundant, and breeds there in hollow trees, 

 and only occasionally in stone buildings. Russ., Galka ; Bashk., 

 Saidka; Zirian, Chauken. 



Corvus dauricus, Pall. I observed it in the Pavdinsky and 

 Kaslinsky Ural (56° N. lat.), and Hoffmann (op. city p. 65) found 

 it at Cherdin. 



Corvus corone, Lath. I only once noticed it in the Pavdinsky 

 Dacha, but it certainly occurs throughout the Government of 

 Perm. Teplouhoff shot it twice in the Perm Ural, near the 

 village Iliensk. 



Eversmann says that it occasionally occurs in the Province of 

 Kasan (op. cit, p. 163). Lehman found it in Orenburg (op. cit, 

 p. 316). According to Nordmann, it is scarce in Finland (op. cit, 

 p. 22). Lilljeborg found it at Ladienopole. I (" Materials for the 

 Fauna of the Jaroslav Government ") met with it about Jaroslav. 

 Falk (op. cit, vol. iii., p. 335) found it in Issetsk Province. 



Corvus comix, L. Is very common everywhere, especially in 

 the cultivated districts, but in the Ural it is rather rare. Russ., 

 Verona; Bashk., Karga.
