A List of Birds known from Saghalin. 



In the following I give a list of names of all the birds 

 hitherto recorded from Saghalin. In the cases of such birds as 

 the author has not been able to verify himself by examination 

 of actual specimens, he has preferred to quote the names within 

 inverted commas in the form as they are found in the works 

 referred to, because a correction of the names so as to accord 

 with the modern usage might possibly lead to errors. The names 

 of sucli birds which are known either with full certainty or 

 greatest probability to breed in the island, are italicised. It is 

 possible that the number of the breeding birds may be justly 

 increased by adding to them such birds as, for instance, Corvus 

 corax,^^ C. iuacrorhynchus japonensis,^^ Nucifraga, Slurnia violacea^^ 

 Lanius huceplialas, Larvivora cycmc, etc. 



The mark + heading the names indicates that the species 

 is represented in this collection but is not recorded in Nikolski's 

 paper ; the mark — means the contrary. The species which are 

 not marked either way, are those which have been recorded by 

 NiKOLSKi as well as are represented in the present collection. 



1) Known from the Kurile Islund.s.
