Elwes, H. J., & Buckley, T. E. A List of the Birds of 
Turkey. Tom. cit. pp. 59-77, 188-201, 327-343. 
A very useful paper, giving, for the first time, a full list of all 
the species of this part of Europe. The authors also enumerate 
such contributions to Turkish ornithology as have before ap- 
peared, and add to what was already known on the subject some 
capital field-notes of their own. 
Fischer, Johann von. Die Vogel des St. Petersburger Gou- 
vernement. Zool. Gart. 1870, pp. 344^352. 
A useful paper, as hitherto no good general account of the 
birds of this part of Russia existed.

1870, pp. 303-310. 
Beyond the brief account (Bull. Petersb. iii. p. 343) of Von 
Baer’s visit in 1837, nothing has been known of the zoology of 
this country. Twenty-eight species are enumerated, of which 
four were not fully determined. Ten of them are not recorded by 
Von Baer, who observed in all twenty-four species, six of which 
were not noticed by Mr. Gillett.

The ornithological part of this model work is an amplification 
of the author’s former paper (Zool. Rec. iii. p. 50).

Ornitholology takes up about half of this book, the author of 
which has good opportunities for outdoor observation ; and his 
records of capture include several species of considerable rarity 
in England.
