becomes rarer. Neither Eversmann nor BogdanofF mention this 

 species. It occurs about Moscow. 



Motacilla citreola, Pall. In Ekaterinburg district it occurs up 

 to 56^° N. lat. It does not occur in the Ural, but further south 

 and east it becomes common. According to Lepechin, it occurs at 

 Tumen (Petesh., vol. ii., p. 384), and Bogdanoff (I.e.) says it 

 is common in Kasan Province, and therefore I think it goes even 

 further west. In the Shadrinsk district M. campestris. Pall., is 

 probably to be found. 



Motacilla flava, L. Occurs everywhere, and has been met with 

 as far as BogoslafFsk. 



Oriolus galbula, L. Does not go very far north, at least on the 

 eastern slopes, and I do not believe beyond 58° N. lat. It is 

 common in the birch woods south of Ekaterinburg. Bashk., 

 Harigush. According to Middendorff (" Isepiptesen," p. 44), it 

 occurs on the Kama to 61|^*' N. lat. 



Turclus iliacus, L. Is scarcer than the other common thrushes, 

 but breeds throughout the Perm Government, except in the 

 Black-earth forests. 



Turchis musicus, L. Is very common, and its distribution is 

 similar to that of the preceding species. Bashk. (like all thrushes), 

 Barkaldah 



Turclus atrigularis, Natt. I found it very numerously in the 

 Pavdinsky Dacha, but according to statements of some sportsmen, 

 it occurs also further south, in the Kaslinsky Ural. According to 

 Eversmann, it visits the Government of Orenburg, from the 

 southern Altai (o^. cit, p. 185). Hoffmann came across it between 

 62° and 65° N. lat. (op. cit., p. 67). Turdus merula certainly does not 

 occur in the Ural, and this is confirmed also by Eversmann 

 {op. cit., p. 185), but occasionally it visits the south-west parts of the 

 Province. According to Bogdanoff, it is very common in the 

 south of Kasan and Simbirsk (op. cit., p. 87). 



Turdus torquatus, L. Occurs only in the Ural mountains, and 

 there only rarely. Martin obtained a specimen once at the 

 Issetsk Dacha, 56^° N. lat. Some native sportsmen inform me 

 that it is occasionally seen near mountain brooks in the Kaslinsky 

 Ural. They call it Kuznechick. 



According to Nordmann (I.e.), it breeds in the north of 

 Lapland and Finland. In the same localities the natives say that 

 Turdus saxaiitis is found, but this is doubtful.
