110 Recent Ornithological Publications. 
Arthur von Nordmannupon the Birds of Finland and Lapland*. 
During the absence of this young naturalist upon one of the 
Bussian expeditions to theAmoor,the list of birds has been revised 
and edited, with some additional remarks, by his father, Alexander 
von Nordmann. The whole forms a concise review of the ornitho¬ 
logy of this country, and an acceptable contribution to our 
knowledge of geographical distribution. The previous authori¬ 
ties consulted by the writers are the following. We repeat the 
list, as several of them are not well known in this country, and 
give also a translation of H. von NordmamPs accompanying re¬ 
marks on some of them :— 
1. P. U. Sadelin. Fauna Finnica. Abose, 1810 et 1819.

Ergebnisse einer Reise in Lappland, 1840. In the 11th vol. of
