204 Mr. J. A. Harvie Brown on the 



(11) Passer domesticus, L. No. 44 in Tables. 



The somewhat peculiar comparative distribution of these 

 two species has elsewhere been remarked upon (' Ibis/ 1876, 

 p. 114 ; vide also Proc. Glasg. Nat. Hist, Soc. 1876, pp. 49, 

 53). For northern range in the N.E. see Part I. of this 

 paper [1. c. p. 285). 



(12) Passer montanus (L.). No. 45 in Tables. 



Is remarked as being more plentiful than P. domesticus ait 

 Ustjug, in the S.C. District, by Goebel (20, p. 24), the con- 

 trary of Seebohm's and my experience throughout the district 

 between Vologda and Archangel, in March 1875*. Herr 

 Goebel's observations were made between May 8 and June 1. 

 SabanaefF (22) excludes it from the northern parts of Perm ; 

 but, on the other hand, Seebohm and I found it plentiful at 

 Ust Zylma and north as far as Kuya (67° 45') , whilst even a 

 straggler was obtained at Stanovaya Lachta, still further to 

 the northward {vide Part I. L c. p. 285). 



(13) Pyrrhula major, Brehm. No. 47 in Tables. 



MejakofF (19) records this as occurring in the south of Vo- 

 logda only in winter, arriving in September and leaving in 

 March. It is doubtl'ul, therefore, if we can consider it as a 

 resident species at Ust Zylma (65° 26' N. lat.). Seebohm 

 and I found it common there, on our arrival, in the middle of 

 April, and still more commonly about 25 versts to the south- 

 west at Umskaia. In the Ural, Hoffman (5) found it in 64^° 

 N. lat. Being one of the species which winter only a very 

 short distance south of its breeding-haunts, and with Mejakoff's 

 note to guide us, we may perhaps rightly consider that it had 

 preceded our arrival at Ust Zylma by a fortnight or three 

 weeks. At Archangel we met with this species as early as 

 the 18th March. It seems to be rare in the South-east Ural 

 (Sabanaeff, 22). 



(14) Upupa epofs, L. No. 60 in Tables. 



This is recorded as occurring at Pavda by Sabanaeff (22) ; 

 and he mentions one as having been shot. He remarks, how- 

 ever, that it is not found there every year. Dr. RadakofF 

 [torn, cit., Upujia epops, vide Part II., 'Annals,' July 1877, 

 p. 8) does not extend its distribution beyond Ekaterineburg in 

 his map of the species.
