Archangel {op. cit.), and Schracler (Middendorff — Reise in Lap- 

 land : Appx. by Von Baer) in Central Russia. 



MuscicajM atricajnlla, L. Its range extends at least to 57° N. lat. 

 on the eastern slope, and it occurs also in the birch woods of the 

 Bashkir country. In Central Russia it is commoner than in the 

 Province of Perm. 



Hinmdo urhica, h., and Hirundo rustica, L. Both these species 

 have been observed as far as Bogoslaffsk, the second being the 

 more abundant one. Bashk. and Mesch., Kmieygas; Zirian, 

 Checkish. 



Hirundo riparia, L. Occurs in certain localities up to 58° N. lat., 

 and goes even further north on the Kama. It is scarce in the 

 south-eastern slope of the Ural, because of the want of suitable 

 localities. It breeds in the Kaslinsky and Keshtemsky Ural. 



Columba iKilumhis, L. Inhabits all the woods of the Perm 

 Government, but is most numerous in the southern parts. Russ., 

 Lesnay-golub ; in Kaslinsk, MeUtan; Bashk., Ala-dugu; Zirian, 

 Vir-goliib. 



Columba Iwia (var. doraestica), Briss. Very common in all the 

 inhabited places and the manufacturing localities of the Perm 

 Government, especially in the southern parts. 



Columba oenas, L. Is also very numerous up to 56J° N. lat. in 

 the eastern slope, but as yet has not occurred at Ekaterinburg. 

 Russ., Dekey-golub; Bashk., Kiigarsin ; Mesch., Karhugarseney. 



Columba turtur, L. Is very scarce on the eastern slope, but has 

 been found breeding in the Keshtemsky and Kaslinsky Ural. In 

 the south-east parts, however, it is abundant. Russ., Krasnay- 

 goluh; Bashk., Jabersin. 



Lepechin found C. palumbus at the boundary between the 

 Verhoturie and Turinsk districts. Occasionally also it occurs at 

 Archangel (Lilljeborg, op. cit, p. 107). Probably also C. liv'ia breeds 

 on the south-west slope of the Perm Ural, as Eversmann states 

 that they breed abundantly in the rocks of Belaya and Uffa. 

 According to BogdanofF, C. oenas is common in the Government 

 of Kasan. It breeds in the southern parts of the Moscow Govern- 

 ment, but I do not think it occurs in the Olonetz Government. 

 Eversmann says {pp. cit, p. 325) that C. turtur is very common in the 

 Government of Perm. Mejakoff {op. cit., p. 632) found it as far as 

 60° N. lat. According to Nordmann {op. cit., p. 31), it does not 

 occur in Finland, but occasionally it visits the south of Lapland.
