Seventy species are mentioned as occurring in the districts 

 visited by the Ural Expedition ; but of these, nineteen only are 

 recorded as occurring north of 64° 30' N. lat.

1856. HoFFMANNSEGG, Gkaf. " Limosci cinerea im ihren Sommer-

 1856. Hencke. " Kurzer Bericbt iiber eine oologische Excursion 

 bei Archangel." (Ibid. p. 236.) N.C. 



Graf HofFmannsegg and Herr Hencke also visited the 

 Petchora ; but the above short papers are all the published 

 records of their discoveries I have been able to find. 



1871. Meves. "Orn. iaktt. till storre delen samlade under en resa i 

 NordvestraRyssland; sommaren 1869." (ffifvers. af Kongl.Vetensk. 

 Akad. Forhandl. 1871, part 6, Stockholm.) N.C. (and S,). 



Idem. Translation of the above into English by M. Hjaltalin ; in 



MS. 



A most valuable paper. Dr. Meves records in all 201 

 species from N.C. and S.W. districts. Of these, 131 are from 

 the N.C, and 162 are recorded as occurring in the S. W.

1872. Th. v. Heuglin. " Notes on the Birds of Novaya Zemlia and 

 Waigats Island." (' Ibis,' 1872, p. 60t.) 



Many references are here made to the birds of Waigats 



* It may be as well that I should here mention that much also 

 has been due to the exertions of earlier travellers in Northern Russia, 

 amongst whom I would instance Herr v. Baer, who has written upon the 

 animal life of Novaja Zemlja, and also the traveller Schrenck, who 

 passed through Siberia in Europe, from west to east, and travelled from 

 Kolva on the Ussa into the Northern Ural. A fuller reference to the 

 work of these and other naturahsts and travellers will be found in the 

 introductory portion of the above paper, into which, however. Prof. 

 Brandt has already worked the principal results, so that they call for no 

 further notice in this place.
