A continuation of the articles noticed last year (Zool. Bee. 
V. p. 43), beginning with an account of the changes in the fauna 
according to season. The various birds arc divided and sub- 
divided into categories, such as migrants occasionally remain- 
ing, and pure migrants, residents, passing migrants, winter 
visitors, (p. 208) those which are comparatively resident, those 
changing their quarters from summer to winter, without really 
migrating, pure nomads, partly nomads, sometimes residents, 
but not always wintering. A table is also given (p. 214) of 
the species which haunt the pine-forests, the larch-forests, and 
the neighbourhood of houses. Another chapter treats of the 
spring-fauna (p. 216), remarking on the species which arrive in 
companies, and those that come as stragglers, noticing also the 
difference between the spring and summer fauna. Then follows 
(p. 122) an account of the autumnal fauna and the migration of 
birds which, breed in the district ; Picus leuconotus and P. tri- 
dactylus are common at that season, and Accentor montanellus , 
which also breeds there, has been observed in October. The 
next chapter (p. 231) treats of the fauna as affected by the 
natural features of the country, recounting the species which 
inhabit the forests, the open country, and so forth. We have 
then (p. 383) an account of the general distribution of the 
animals and of the increase and decrease of their numbers, with 
a table (p. 399) showing those which are fast decreasing owing 
to human interference (among Avhich are the Laridce)^ those 
which are decreasing notwithstanding certain favourable cir- 
cumstances, those which are increasing, and those which are 
decreasing owing to the destruction of the forests. The last 
chapter (p. 400) contains a general summary and a comparison
