mouse, Siberian titmouse, water ouzel, willow 

 grouse, common sandpiper, common snipe, hooper, 

 bean goose, pintail, scoter, widgeon, wild duck,

3. In the Pine and Fir Region the Siberian 

 jay, the waxwing, pine bullfinch, the hawk owl,

 hedge-sparrow, bullfinch, crested tit, coal tit, great 

 black woodpecker, three-toed woodpecker, gold-

4. In the Cultivated Districts the hooded 

 crow, magpie, ortolan bunting, yellow bunting, 

 white wagtail, common sparrow, swallow, and 

 martin, etc. 



Thus we shall see, as might naturally be ex- 

 pected, that the vegetation, as well as the fauna 

 of this land, has its defined limits ; for, beginning 

 with the cultivated districts at the bottom of the 

 fells, where many of the trees and shrubs peculiar 

 to Britain are met with, we come first (ascending 

 the fell sides) to the fir districts, and then to the 

 pine. Above these we meet with the common 

 birch, and higher up with the willow and the fell 

 birch. Above this we reach a district where little 

 save mosses and lichens can grow, and above all 

 lies the region of perpetual snows.
