2 ARKIV FÖR ZOOLOGI. BAND 5. N:0 9. 



At my request Mr. Bamberg has kindly communicated 

 the following notes concerning the different localities at which 

 birds have been collected. The places are in the following 

 enumerated in the same order as they were visited. With 

 the help of these descriptive notes, the photos, and the 

 appended Hsts of birds collected at each locahty it is possible 

 for the reader to form himself an opinion about the condi- 

 tions in which the different species of birds live which, of 

 course, is of importance for the understanding of the biological 

 liabits of the birds.

 red by small pines.
