Dresser, 1 ; Mr Seebohm, 1 ; and the fifth in my own collec- 

 tion, and which I have brought to-night for exhibition. 



"2. PJiylloscopus neglcctus of Hume {Ihis, 1870, p. 143). — 

 First described from India. Of this species we only obtained 

 one specimen, the only record of its occurrence in Europe 

 {vide Ihis, April number, 1876 ; MS. sent in to press). 



"3. Phylloscopus tristis of Blythe. — Added by us to the 

 European fauna. Wot uncommon on the banks of the Pets- 

 chora in summer. One set of eggs obtained for the first time 

 on record. Hitherto only recorded as a winter visitant to 

 India. Said to breed in Ladak, but no authority quoted 

 (Brooks, 75^■s, 1872, p. 31). 



"4. Phylloscopus evcrsmanni (Bon.). — One specimen only 

 obtained. A rare northern warbler ; the eggs not yet known 

 to naturalists. Also procured on the banks of the river 

 Dvina in 1872, by Mr Alston and myself {Ihis, 1873, 

 p. 61). 



" 5. Budytes citreolns (Pall). — N"ot supposed to breed fur- 

 ther north than 56^° K lat., nor had the eggs been taken 

 in Europe prior to our trip, when we found it abundant in 

 Q^l° K lat., and obtained a series of their eggs. Bird 

 figured and described in Dresser's 'Birds of Europe,' part 

 xxxviii. ; and in an Appendix in No. 45, Mr Dresser 

 gives the results of our notes on the habits. Interesting 

 notes on migration of this species may be found in a Eussian 

 work, entitled ' Descriptive Catalogues of the High School of 

 the Imperial University of Kasan,' vol. i., part i., chaps, ii., 

 iii., iv, — for full title, etc., vide Ihis, January 1876, where 

 a short account of the birds' habits, etc., appears in a general 

 paper ' On the Ornithology of the Lower Petchora,' by See- 

 bohm and myself. 



" 6. Pants kamschathensis (Midd.). — This is the eastern cli- 

 matal form of the northern race {Partes horealis) of our British 

 Marsh Tit {Parus pahistris). Not hitherto recorded from 

 Europe {vide ' Birds of Europe,' part xlvi., at present going to 

 press, and Ihis, April number, 1876). 



" 7. Parus ductus. — A variety, intermediate in size and 

 coloration between type, P. cinctus from Lapland, and the 

 eastern large pale race, P. grisescens of Dresser {vide ' Birds of
