 gigas on the ground (!), and of Oreotrochilus stolzmanni in a

Prof. Bianchi's useful memoir on the Fringilline genus 

 Carpodacus has been translated from the original Russian 

 (v. Ann. Mus. Zool. St. Petersb. ii. p. 218, 1897) by 

 M. Harms, and republished in the ' Journal fiir Oruitho- 

 logie.' The author acknowledges 25 species of this genus, 

 six belonging to the Nearctic and 19 to the Palajarctic Region,

 districts. Five Carpodaci occur within the limits of the 

 Russian Empire, and of two others specimens have been 

 obtained in adjoining countries by Russian explorers. The 

 Palaeai-ctic species only are treated of in the present paper.
