Corviis corax, L. Is rather common in the Ural mountains, but 

 is rare on the eastern slope in the birch woods. Hoffmann met with 

 it at the sources of the Petchora, in the most northern parts of 

 the Perm Government, 62° N. lat. {op. tit, p. QQ). Euss., Veron ; 

 Bashk. and Mesch., Kuzgun ; Zirian, Kirnish. 



Corvus frugllegiis, L. Does not occur very far north, and on the 

 western slope not beyond 59° N. lat.; on the eastern slope, not 

 beyond 57° N. lat. It does not inhabit the mountains, but is 

 commonest in the birch woods of the Ekaterinburg and Shadrinsk 

 districts, where it lives in large colonies. Euss., Gratch ; Bashk., 

 Kara-harga. 



According to the statement of a native it occurs at Ijma (64° 

 N. lat.), and is called there SedraJca. Lilljeborg (I.e.) and 

 Hoffmann (I.e.) states that it visits even Archangel and breeds 

 there.* 



Fregilus graculus (L.) It inhabits all the Ural range, 

 beginning at Tagill. About the Ekaterinburg and Uffa Ural it 

 is not scarce, and is known to the Eussian sportsmen and the 

 beekeepers under the name of Chernay-diatel or Bortevsliika. Bashk. , 

 Bal'tumurkta. Neither Eversmann nor Hoffmann mention this 

 species. 



Sturnus vtdgaris, L. Is extremely common in the southern parts 

 of the Government of Perm in the Ural mountains, as also on the 

 slopes north of 57° N. lat. On the eastern slope it becomes 

 rare, and does not appear to occur north of the Pavdinsky Dacha. 

 Euss., Skvoretz; Bashk. and Mesch., Segersik. It does not occur at 

 Ijma, and according to Middendorff ("Isepiptesen", p. 39), occurs 

 on the Kama up to 60J° N. lat. 



Troglodytes yarvulus, Koch. Is rather rare in the Kaslinsky 

 Ural, but becomes rather commoner on the western slopes of the 

 Ural mountains. Euss., Kropevenik. 



Neither Bogdanoff nor Eversmann mentions it. It is common 

 in the Governments of Moscow and Jaroslav. It occurs in Ijma, 

 where it is called Pista^ and according to Middendorff (Eeise in 

 Lapland, p. 234), it is probably found in Lapland. 



Certhia famUiaris, L. We met with it as far as Pavda, but it 

 evidently does not breed in the south-eastern slope of the Ural, 



* (Seebolim and I obtained a specimen at Ust Zylma, on the Petchora, 

 65° 26' N. lat. I consider it doubtful that it breeds at Archangel. —
