but is common in the fir woods of the western declivity of the 

 Ekaterinburg Ural. 



Cindus aquaticus, Briss.' Occurs throughout the Ural, 

 occasionally also breeding on the shores of lakes on the boundary 

 of the Ekaterinburg and Shadrinsk districts. Common on the 

 south-western slope. Russ., Vodlanay-vorohey ; Bashk., Kara-turgai; 

 Zirian, Vasez. 



Hoffmann met with it in 62° N. lat. {I.e.) I must also state 

 here that it winters with us, though Bogdanoff doubts it {I.e.) 



Anthus aquaticus, Bechst. I often met with it in July and August 

 in the Pavdinsky Dacha, and several times observed it during 

 migration in the southern parts of the Ekaterinburg Province, and 

 in the Shadrinsk district. It probably breeds in the Keshtemsky 

 and Kaslinsky Ural. 



Hoffmann met with it between 61° and GSf** K lat. {op. cif., p. 66). 

 According to Eversmann, it occurs in the southern Ural and the 

 hilly woods of the Khirgis steppes {op. ciL, p. 260). 



Anthus pratensis, (L.) Occurs everywhere, but is most numerous 

 during migration. 



Anthus cervinus, Pall. This species or variety of the preceding 

 is tolerably common on the marshy plains of the Ekaterinburg 

 and Shadrinsk districts. Eversmann says {op. ciL, p. 261) that 

 this bird is commoner than the preceding species in the 

 Orenburg Government; but this is certainly wrong, at least as 

 regards migrating birds, which latter is also Bogdanoff 's opinion 

 {op. cit., p. 98). 



Anthus arboreus, Bechst. Is extremely abundant throughout 

 the Province where woods or groves exist. Hoffmann found it in 

 the most northern parts of the Government of Perm, 62° N. lat. 

 {op. cit., p. 66). 



Anthus campestris, (Lin.) This species did not come under my 

 own observation, and is mentioned here only on Falk's authority, 

 which may be wrong {op. cit, p. 391). It occurs, according to 

 Nordmann, in Central Finland {op. cit.y p. 24). 



Motacilla alba, L. Is veiy common everywhere. Russ. , SinitchJca ; 

 Mesch., Taltius; Bashk., Kukmursik. 



Motacilla boarula, (Penn.) It is extremely strange that it is 

 commoner in the north than in the south. It is very common in 

 the Pavdinsky Dacha, and according to Teplouhoff it breeds on the 

 left bank of the Kama, 58J° N. lat. South of Ekaterinburg it
