 naturhist. Reise in Lappland wahrend des Sommers 1840." 

 (Beitrage zur Kenntniss des Russ. Reiches, Bd. viii. pp. 187-258.) 



N.W. 



This is a most important paper. A set of useful Tables 

 gives the faunal value of 75 species in Russian Lapp- 

 land. In mj Tables further on, however, I have preferred 

 for the present entering only the simple record (thus, | ), await- 

 ing further elucidation of the fauna of the N.W. District. I 

 would here refer also to Von Middendorff 's larger work, ' Sibi- 

 rische Reise,' Band iv. 4to, pp. 785-1094, for much interesting 

 matter connected with Northern Palaearctic species. {Cf. 

 ' Ibis,' 1870, p. 274.) •

1842. Btstkov-Brandt. " List of Skins of Mammals and Birds sent 

 by Herr Bystrov of Mezen to Zool. Mus. of Academy." (Bull, de la 

 Soc. de rAcademie de St. Petersbourg, vol. x. p. 350.) N.C. 



A list of 62 species of birds is given, skins of which had 

 been forwarded from Mezen.

1844. Blasius, J. H. * Reise in enrop. Russland.' Braunschweig, 

 1844. 



This I have not been able to consult. It refers, however, I 

 believe, more directly to the southern division.

This is an important contribution. Records of 125 species 

 are given. Of these, 36 occur in the N.W., 73 in the N.C. 

 (and 78 are recorded from the S.W.).
