To the north and west lie the spurs of the Jablonnoi ehain, to 
the south and east the hilly Aginer steppe. The forests are 
chiefly composed of larch, with firs in the valleys and stout 
pines on the mountains. One hundred and nine-three species 
arc enumerated, some of them of great rarity ; but the notes 
respecting them are unfortunately meagre, and nearly all were 
met with by Herr lladcle (lleisen im Siiden von Ost-Sibirien, 
Bd. ii.). Tardus pelios, Bp. [!], being perhaps the chief exception. 
The paper concludes with a table showing the number of eggs 
laid by a good many of the birds whose nests were found by the 
authors.
