Recent Ornithological Publications. 805 
Emile Parzudaki's ‘ Catalogue des Trochilides' is another printed 
list of the same character, which those ornithologists who are 
studying the group of Humming-birds would do well to apply 
for. M. Parzudaki has a very large series of skins of this group 
of birds on sale. 
3. Russian and Scandinavian Publications. 
Herr Magnus von Wright's “ Birds of Finland*/' of which 
the title was mentioned in our January Number (‘Ibis/ 1861, 
p. Ill), forms the fifth part of the ‘Bidrag till Einlands Na- 
turkannedom, Etnografi och Statistik/ issued by the Finnish 
Scientific Society, and, as far as it goes,—for the part published 
only comprehends the Land-Birds,—will be found a very useful 
account of the ornithology of that country. As might be ex¬ 
pected, the character of the Avifauna of each side of the Baltic 
is very much the same, and we think the author has done well 
in making such constant reference to Nilsson's well-known 
‘ Skandinavisk Fauna.' But, according to Herr von Wright, 
thirty-two species occur in Sweden or Norway which have not 
been met with in Finland, though further observation will no 
doubt tend to reduce this inequality, since several birds of 
Asiatic origin have never been obtained in the latter country, 
though they must probably have passed through it to reach the 
other shore of the Gulf of Bothnia. Among these we may 
instance the two species of Oreocincla , O. aurea and O. heinei , 
Bp. (the latter erroneously called by our author Turdus lunulatus), 
Parus cyanuSj Emberiza aureola and Turtur rupicola (Pall.), and 
Columba gelastes } Ternm., the last of which may perhaps be ex¬ 
pected some day in England. Of birds of southern or western 
range which do not seem to reach Finland, the more noticeable 
are Falco milvus, F. rufus, Stria noctua , S. aluco, and S. flammea , 
Sylvia luscinia, S. tithys , S. locustella , and S. arundinacea , Mota- 
cilla boarula , Saxicola rubicola , Regulus ignicapillus, Emberiza 
miliaria , Picus viridis and P. medius , Alcedo ispida, Merops 
apiaster , and Columba livia.
