 west of the great river. 



If it be desirable here to separate what we came clearly 

 to look upon as residents, these may be held to be the 

 following species, but the specimens of those which we 

 obtained are scarcely numerous enough to make it worth 

 while to leave them out in this analysis. 



AVhat may be therefore looked upon as present all the 

 time we were in Kussia were as follows : — 



1. Redpoll (Lt»oi'«Z/;ia77'a) 10. Magpie 



2. Northern Marsh Tit 11. Capercaillie 



3. Northern Bullfinch 12. Jackdaw 



4. Lesser-spotted Wood- 13. Three-toed Wood- 



pecker pecker 



5. Siberian Jay 14. Pine Grosbeak ('?) 



6. Great-spotted Wood- 1-5. Raven 



pecker 16. Siberian Tit 



7. Tree Sparrow 17. Redpoll (L. exilijjes) 



8. Hooded Crow 18. Willow Grouse 



9. Yellowhammer 19. Hazel Grouse 



All of the above are written down in the order of the 

 entries in the List. 



Some, however, may be looked upon as locally migra- 

 tory, i.e., shifting ground to north or to south day by day, 

 as local severity of weather, or recurrences of frost and 

 snow, and climatic conditions generally, influenced them 

 — which phenomena we had abundant opportunities of 

 clearly observing. Amongst these latter species I may 

 instance the Northern Bullfinch, which we became aware 

 of as a 'drifting quantity,' i.e., flying to and fro over a 

 limited area in the early days, or weeks, of our expe- 

 riences at Umskaia and Ust Zylma, before the regular 

 migratory season began. 



The Tree Sparrow seemed restless in some degree, but
