Our Foreign Member, Mr. Buturlin, bas recently sent us 

 a number of sbort papers, all extracted from the Russian 

 ornithological journal^ Messager Ornithologique, which shows 

 that activity in creating new subspecies is not confined to 

 English and American workers. 



The papers, though written in Russian, are all provided 

 with a summary in English, so tliat the contents can be 

 easily made out without any knowledge of the Russian 

 tongue. It is hardly necessary to comment on them, as the 

 titles in nearly all the cases explain their contents. 



The longest one, on the birds of Ussuri-land^ contains an 

 account of the collections made by Capt. V. C. Arseniev, who 

 obtained examples of 61 species in 1906-1910, among them 

 two unnamed races — Corvus macrorJujnchus mandskuricus and 

 Perisoreus infaustus niaritimus. 



The last paper suggests that Mr. Iredale's new name 

 (^Larus fuscus antelius) for the Siberian Lesser Black-backed 

 Gull should be restricted to the western race — the eastern 

 race being Larus taimyrensis taimyrensis Buturl., 1911, and 

 the western L. t. antelius Iredale^ 1913, according to our 

 author.
