APPENDIX C 



ANALYSIS OF KESCJLTS OF COLLECTORS' LIST OF BIRDS 

 OBTAINED IN EUSSIA PRINCIPALLY EAST OF THE 

 PETCHORA IN THE YEAR 1875, BY HENRY SEEBOHM 

 AND J. A. HARVIE-BROWN. 



THERE may be something to learn even from a bare list 

 of specimens carefully collected, such as we claim ours to 

 have been. 



The term of our collecting excursion in 1875 extended 

 between the 27th of March and the 30th of July. 



The first portion was occupied by winter collecting at 

 Archangel and along our route to Umskaia, between the 

 date of our arrival at Archangel say March 17th and 

 our reaching Ust Zylma, on 15th of April, and including 

 a day's return visit to Umskaia on 24th of April. 



The next portion may be held as entirely relating to 

 collecting at Ust Zylma and Habarika, on the Petchora, 

 between the 17th of April and the date of our leaving 

 upon our further boat-journey down the great river, i.e., 

 the date of our departure, on the 10th of June, after 

 which time, in our List, the names Ust Zylma and Haba- 

 rika disappear. This may be held as representing partly 

 the winter fauna, and taking in the main portion of the 

 spring migration, and brought us to No. 400 of our list. 



The third section includes our collecting on our descent 



of the Petchora between the 10th of June, as above, and
