110 Recent Ornithological Publications. 



Arthur von Nordmann upon the Birds of Finland and Lapland*. 

 During the absence of this young naturaHst upon one of the 

 Russian expeditions to theAmoor^the hst of birds has been revised 

 and edited, with some additional remarks, by his father, Alexander 

 von Nordmann. The whole forms a concise review of the ornitho- 

 logy of this country, and an acceptable contribution to our 

 knowledge of geographical distribution. The previous authori- 

 ties consulted by the writers are the following. We repeat the 

 list, as several of them are not well known in this country, and 

 give also a translation of H, von Nordmann's accompanying re- 

 marks on some of them : — 



1. P. U. Sadelin. Fauna Finnica. Aboje, 1810 et 1819. 

 [An antiquated list, and hardly of any value.]

 Ergebnisse einer Reise in Lappland, 1840. In the 11th vol. of 

 ^Beitragen zur Kenntniss des russischen Eeiches.'

 1853, pts. 4 & 5. [No other ornithologist has passed so long 

 a time (eight years) in Lapland as Schrader; his contributions 

 are of more importance than all that has been previously written 

 upon the Avifauna of Lapland.]
