The first paper contains the narrative portion of the author’s second 
adventurous journey, extending to Krasnoyarsk and the Yen-e-say. In 
the second the list of the birds is carried to the end of the Motacillidoe, 
one species of which is described as new (Jf. amurensis'), and many valu- 
able remarks are made on distribution and habits, with rectifications of 
synonymy. [For most important, see Corvidae, Emberizidce, Motacillidce.']
