It is true that several of the species here enumerated reach their 

 northern limit at the mouths of Amur and Uda, as for instance mdica 

 atra, Aix galericulata, Botaurus stellaris, Ardea cinerea, &c., but it is not 

 less true that the southern part of Kamtschatka is situated fully as far 

 south as the localities mentioned, and that these very species also in- 

 habit i^orthern Japan. 



Still more remarkable is it that several of the species which are com- 

 mon inhabitants of Northern Japan, and which reach a much higher 

 latitude on the western shore of the Okotsk Sea than the mouth of the 

 Uda Eiver, nevertheless characterize the Kamtschatka fauna by their 



absence. 



It is furthermore to be remarked that these missing forms by no 

 means oelong to species of restricted distribution. A glance at the 

 above list (Table XVI) shows that the following Circumpolar or Palfe- 

 arctic genera (and subgenera, if we admit such a term), inhabiting 

 Northern Japan and the western shore of the Okotsk Sea, are un- 

 represented in Kamtschatka :
