494 Mr. J. A. Harvie Brown on the 



cially interesting to geologists in comparison with the published 

 lists of Post-tertiarj fossils from Scandinavia, as well as from 

 the Clyde beds, Kelsea Hill, Bridlington, and other so-called 

 " glacial " deposits in this country. These lists contain many 

 more species than were found in Grinnell Land, and may 

 therefore be regarded as arctic rather than polar. In fact I 

 do not know a single fossiliferous deposit in Europe which is 

 exactly similar to that which Capt. Feilden has so carefully 

 examined throughout such an extensive area.

LXI. — Appendix to Papers " On the Distribution of Birds in 

 North Russia " (' Atmals,^ 1877) — being Additions to the 

 Data for the Southern Division, by Herr Richard Sievers 

 {with Summaries up to Date). By J. A. Harvie Brown, 

 F.Z.S. 



I AM much indebted to Herr R. Sievers, of Helsingfors, for 

 generously putting at my disposal particulars in MS. of his 

 journeys in 1875 and 1876, along with a list of the species 

 met with — -first, along the river Swir, in the summer of 1875 

 (June 9-July 24), and, second, in Northern Onega, Powanetz, 

 the peninsula of Saoneskje, Petrozavodsk, at Lake Wig, 

 Segosero, &c. in 1876 (June 17 to September)*. 



These particulars, however, arrived just too late for insertion 

 in Part III. of my paper (' Annals,' September 1877, p. 180); 

 and as Herr Sievers has informed me that his fuller account 

 may be shortly expected, I have thought that the abstract 

 furnished to me by Herr Sievers may be acceptable as bring- 

 ing the additional information as regards distribution up to 

 date. I beg therefore to offer it in the form of an Appendix 

 to my other papers. Herr Sievers has also informed me of 

 the title of his paper ; so that I am able to insert it here, fol- 

 lowing the same plan as heretofore.

One hundred and thirty species are mentioned by Herr 



* The most nortlierly locality lie reached was the northern shore of 

 Wig Lake, so that all his observations apply to our South-west District.
