enumerate the different species found there, carefully defining
those European species whose eastern range terminates at the
Ural, and designating the Siberian species which extend to those
mountains and their western slopes. As a curious circumstance,
we may remark that he speaks of Parus pendulinus (p. 193) as
occurring in the- forest-region together with Parus cyanus.
Among the species enumerated as occurring in the Central Ural
(p. 195) are many of great rarity so far westward, as, for instance,
Lusciola calliope, Sylvia cyanura, and Regulus proregulus. Space
will not permit us to give a more extensive notice of this valuable
contribution to the avifauna of the eastern frontier of Europe,
and we look forward with interest to its continuation.

The author adds a chapter containing the substance of his
former paper (Zool. Rec. v. p. 43), with Prof, du Bocage's corrections
thereto (Zool. Rec. vi. p. 31), so as to form a very good guide
to the ornithology of the country. {Cf. Ibis, 1870, p. 266; Zool.

The first volume was noticed four years since (Zool. Rec. iii.
p. 52); and this continues the work to the end of the Gralla in
the same elaborate manner, each species in succession being very
fully treated, the account of the extermination of Otis tarda
being in particular given at great length. {Cf. Ibis, 1871,
pp. 251, 252; Zool. s. s. pp. 2413-2423,2453-2464.)
