Notes and Criticisms of doubtful Records in Part III. 

 (1) Aquila clanga, Pall. No. 3 in Tables. 



Barelj reaches 60° N., as Sabaniieff (22) f tells us that it 

 is not found further north than Bogoslaffsk, which is just 

 under the 60th parallel. In the S.W. District we have record 

 of one specimen shot in KSepteraber 1871, at Oschta, on the 

 Onega Sea, and which is now in the University Museum, St. 

 Petersburg, where it was seen by Meves (23, p. 433) . 



Obs. — Aquila nobilis, Pall., perhaps occurs at Bogoslaffsk 

 (vide No. 22, SabanaefF). Both forms {A. nobilis, Pall., and 

 A. chrysaetus, L., = fulva,) are included in Sabanaeff's 

 list — the former, however, recorded from a more northerly 

 locality (Pavda) than the latter. I have not considered it 

 necessary, however, to separate them. For further remarks 

 on the different forms of A. chrysaetus, L., vide Dresser's 

 " Notes on Severtzoff's ' Fauna of Turkestan ' " (' Ibis,' 

 1875, p. 99). 



(2) Pandion haliaetus (L.). No. 5 in Tables. 



This species is recorded by Mejakoff (19) as very com- 

 mon in the neighbourhood of Lake Koubenskoie, but rather 

 rare in the northern districts. Meves found it between 

 Ladoga and Archangel ,* Alston and I found a nest at Arch- 

 angel (' Ibis,' 1873) ; and Seebohm and I found it at Haba- 

 riki, on the Petchora. It is, according to Mejakoflf, only a 

 summer visitant even in the south of Vologda. 



(3) Buteo lagopus, Briinn. No. 8 in Tables. 



Sabanaeff says, quoting Hoffman-Brandt, " Further to 

 the north [than the Ekaterineburg district, J. A. H. B.] it again 



* Viz. Asia otus, Emheriza melanocephala. There are several others 

 which ought, perhaps, to be classed with these, such as Himantopus 

 candiduSj Avocettu recwvirostra^ and a few more. Such can be deducted 

 from the number in column 1 (in above summary) and added to those in 

 column 4. 



t The numbers here and elsewhere in these notes refer to the " List 

 of Authorities," as in the Tables.
