206 Mr. J. A. Harvie Brown on the 



(22) says it is of wide distribution in Perm, but gives no 

 positive record of its occurrence in the north of the Govern- 

 ment. Meves, however, found Garrulus Brandtii^ Eversm., 

 not far from Perm and in the Ural (No. 23, p. 432) ; so Saba- 

 naeff's record may perhaps be held to apply to this Eastern 

 species. Zerrenner (' Erdk. des Gouv. Perm ') states that it 

 is rare, but present in all the districts of Perm ; but it is 

 doubtful if the record applies to G. glandarius vera, or to G. 

 Brandtii. 



(20) Lanius excuhitor^ L. No. 74 in Tables. 



Generally considered as a bird of passage in the south of 

 Vologda (Mejakoff ), but has been shot by him both in Feb- 

 ruary and November. 



Ohs. — Meves met with the Eastern form [Lanius Ho- 

 meyeri^ Cab.) between Kungur and Perm, not uncommonly 

 (No. 23, p. 431). Vide also Dawson Rowley's Ornith. Misc. 

 vol. ii. part vii. p. 272, for further remarks on this species by 

 Col. Prjevalsky (" Birds of Mongolia "). 



Ohs. — Dr. Meves has asked me to point out that the speci- 

 men of Lanius phcenicuruSj Pall. (23, p. 428) , was only a 

 very red young ^ of L. collurio. A query in his MS. had 

 been omitted in the letterpress. 



(21) Linota exilipes^ Coues. No. 78 in Tables. 



Sabanaeif (22) includes two species of Pedpole as occurring 

 in Perm, viz. L. linaria (L.) and L. horealisj Vieill. (? Audu- 

 bon) ; and Hoffman likewise includes two species as occurring 

 in the Northern Ural, viz, L. linaria^ L., and L. rubra^ 

 Gesner. The second mentioned species of both authors will 

 no doubt be referable to L. exilipes, Coues. Both L. linaria^ 

 L., and L. exilipes^ Coues, are early spring migrants to the 

 Northern Division. 



(22) Emheriza rustica (Pall.). No. 83 in Tables. 



Recorded for the S.C. District by Blasius [auct. Meves, 8, 

 p. 744). The range of this species does not appear to be 

 exactly defined in the S.E., although Sabanaeff (22) gives it 

 as abundant in Perm, on the river Olva ; and Hoffman (5) 

 records a single example brought home by tlie Ural Expedi- 

 tion. 



(23) Emheriza schoeniclus, L. No. 86 in Tables. 



Meves distinguishes specimens of the Reed-Bunting ob- 

 tained by him in Perm as Cynchramus intermedius ?, which
