LIST OF SPECIES, WITH MIGRATORY MOVEMENTS—Continued.

An examination of the above table gives the following results, so far as we are able to judge from the data at command.

Of the 113 species mentioned (Phylloscopus neglectus (Hume), true to its name, having been inadvertently left out in the numbering), we find only 16 species which are undoubtedly resident, and two others-the Bullfinch and Yellow-hammer, to which I have attached queries (?)—though I believe they may be considered as very early migrants, along with the Snow Bunting, Lesser and Mealy Redpoles.

Of these 16 Residents, however, the Hooded Crow, though resident at Ust Zylma, is said by the natives to be migratory between that and Gorodok (or Pustozersk), arriving at Gorodok about the 10th May and quitting it in the dead of winter. On the other hand, the Magpie is said to remain there all winter, appearing, therefore, to be more hardy than its congener.

Of the remainder, which, for convenience, we may class under Migrants-95 in number-the Snow Bunting, Lesser and Mealy Redpoles, would appear to be the earliest to arrive, if we put aside the two species I. have marked as doubtful, viz., the Bullfinch and the Yellow-hammer. The House-sparrow appeared to gain additions to its numbers in May; but I feel also somewhat doubtful about its being really a migrant, as suspicions of its presence as early as the 15th April-the day after our arrival at Ust Zylma-were so strong as almost to amount to a certainty, although we did not succeed in procuring specimens until the 18th May, after which time they rapidly became more plentiful.

Of the other undoubted Migrants, 25 species were not observed to pass or visit Ust Zylma or Habariki up to the time we left, viz., the 11th June. These were Nos. 4, 39, 53, 543, 57, 66, 67, 71, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 83, 95, 96, 98, 99, 103, 104, 107, 108, 109, 110, and 111 of the above list. Of these 25 species we may, I think, reasonably suppose that the following really did not pass Ust Zylma or Habariki, but reached their breeding grounds by a more direct route or routes: some probably striking north from Ust Ussa, as before suggested; others reaching their breeding stations by following the coast line-as, for instance, Larus
