Ortygion cohirnix, (L.) It is common in the cultivated southern 

 parts of the Province of Perm, but their range extends further 

 northwards every year. I found it in the vicinity of Verhoturie, 

 and according to the statement of an Ijma peasant, it occurs about 

 Ijma {6i° N. lat.) ; but this is rather doubtful. Russ., Perepel; 

 in the Kama it is called Podpalushka; Bashk. and Mesch., Budena; 

 Tartar, Pitj^ildiclc; Ziridu, Kvaitpalich 



Glareola mela7ioptera, Nordm. Occurs during migration, up to 

 66^° N. lat., on the eastern slope, and apparently breeds in the 

 Shadrinsk district. 



Otis tarda, L. Breeds throughout the Shadrinsk district (up to 

 56"* N. lat.), and further west, in Tobolsk Government (probably 

 up to 57° N. lat.) Sometimes, also, it breeds in the south-east 

 parts of the Ekaterinburg district. The Kaslinsky sportsmen 

 vrho visit the Bashkir country call it Bolshoy-kourojmtka. The 

 Bashkirs call it Dudach 



Crex ijratensis, Bechst. Inhabits the whole Province, but is not 

 very common in the Ural. Russ., Korostel; Bashk., Tartay ; 

 Zirian, Eyulesh. 



Ortygometra jjorzana, (L.) Occurs only in the southern parts of 

 the Government of Perm. It does not inhabit the eastern parts. 

 Westwards from the Ural, Teplouhoff met with it in 58 J° N". lat. 



Rallus aquaticus, Briss. Is evidently a more northern bird than 

 the preceding species. Russ., Faharek svistanok. 



Fulica atra, L. Occurs almost all over the Province, but is rare 

 in the Ural. On the lakes of the Ekaterinburg and Shadrinsk 

 districts (from 56J° N. lat. to 57" N. lat) it is very common. 

 Russ., Lesaya-chernaya-gagara, Lesushka; Bashk., Kashkalak or 

 Urlan. 



Ch'us cinerea, Bechst. Is distributed throughout the Province, 

 and is not scarce in the marshes of the south-east Ural. Russ., 

 Luraol; Bashk. and Mesch., Turna; Zirian, Turey. 



Vanellus cristatus, L. Does not go far north, but it apparently 

 breeds in the Pavdinsky Dacha, although it is not known from Ijma 

 (64° N. lat.) In the southern district it is very common. Russ., 

 Pegalka; in Perm it is called Vshmtza; Bashk., Zircant; Mesch., 

 Pivec. 



Vanellus gregarius, Pall. On the eastern slope it goes as far 

 north as 56^° N. lat., and it breeds in the Shadrinsk district. 



Squatarola helvetica^ Briss. Has been observed everywhere in
