reappears in the Ural Mountains." I find, however, no posi- 

 tive record of it in our Southern Division, Hoffman's record 

 applying to between 66° and 67° N. lat. Sabanaeff's record is 

 therefore only given in the column of " Reference to Autho- 

 rities," and is enclosed in square brackets [22]. Von Baer 

 (Bull. Ac. Sc. N. St. Petersb. t. iii. no. 22) records it even as 

 far north as Kostin Schar (71|° N. lat.) ; but Middendorff con- 

 siders this doubtful (No. 1, p. 201, footnote). Seebohm and 

 I found it, however, on the Petchora up to 66° 13' N. lat. 

 (No. 13, and vide Part I., 'Annals,' April 1877, p. 283). 



(4) Pernis ajiivorus (L.). No. 9 in Tables. 



Lilljeborg (4) records it as common in all the woods from 

 Ladeinapole to the Dvina ; Meves (8) saw a solitary example 

 at Schlusselburg ; but it is not included at all by Mejakoff in 

 his list (19). 



Obs. — Milvus ictmus, Savig. Sabanaeff (22) states that he 

 has seen several " red kites " amongst hundreds of Milvus 

 ater flying towards some dead animals in the Kaslinsk Ural 

 (further to the S.E. of our limits). Read also notes on this 

 species in Part II. 



(5) Falco tinnunculus, L. No. 18 in Tables. 



Its northernmost range would appear to be just within our 

 limits in the S.E. District. Sabanaeff (22) tells us that it 

 increases in numbers towards the south from that latitude. 

 Dr. Radakoff {' Hand- Atlas der geogr. Ausbreitung,' Falco 

 tinnunculus ; vide Part II. of this paper, 'Annals,' July 1877, 

 p. 8) marks its distribution north to Bogoslaffsk*. 



(6) Acci^iter nisus {h.). No. 20 in Tables. 



This species is recorded by Mejakoff as rarely seen in the 

 south of Vologda, and then only at the commencement of 

 winter. These are probably birds migrating southwards from 

 more northerly localities, where, however, as far as at present 

 known, they are far from common {vide Part II., ' Annals,' 

 July 1877, p. 10), very few records being given of their 

 occurrence to the northward. 



* Regarding its distribution in the north of Europe and Asia vide Mid- 

 dendorft' ('Die Th. Sib.' p. 1028, footnote 3), quoting from 'Nauman- 

 nia/ 1854, p. 67, where it is stated that F. tinnunculus goes to the neigh- 

 bourhood of the 'Eismeer' iu Siberia as in Europe. Dr. RadakofF shows 

 this in his map of the species in Norway and in North Siberia.
