494 Mr. J. A. Harvie Brown on the cially interesting to geologists in comparison with the published lists of Post-tertiarj fossils from Scandinavia, as well as from the Clyde beds, Kelsea Hill, Bridlington, and other so-called " glacial " deposits in this country. These lists contain many more species than were found in Grinnell Land, and may therefore be regarded as arctic rather than polar. In fact I do not know a single fossiliferous deposit in Europe which is exactly similar to that which Capt. Feilden has so carefully examined throughout such an extensive area. Ware Priory, 17th Nov., 1877. J. GwYN Jeffeets. LXI. — Appendix to Papers " On the Distribution of Birds in North Russia " {' Annals,^ 1877) — being Additions to the Data for the Southern Division, by Herr Richard Sievers {with Summaries up to Date). By J. A. Harvie Beown, F.Z.S. I AM much indebted to Herr R. Sievers, of Helsingfors, for generously putting at my disposal particulars in MS. of his journeys in 1875 and 1876, along with a list of the species met with — frst, along the river Swir, in the summer of 1875 (June 9-July 24), and, second, in Northern Onega, Powanetz, the peninsula of Saoneskje, Petrozavodsk, at Lake Wig, Segosero, &c. in 1876 (June 17 to September)*. These particulars, however, arrived just too late for insertion in Part IIL of my paper (' Annals,' September 1877, p. 180); and as Herr Sievers has informed me that his fuller account may be shortly expected, I have thought that the abstract furnished to me by Herr Sievers may be acceptable as bring-ing the additional information as regards distribution up to date. I beg therefore to offer it in the form of an Appendix to my other papers. Herr Sievers has also informed me of the title of his paper ; so that I am able to insert it here, fol-lowing the same plan as heretofore. 24. 1877. SiEVERB, R. " Ornitologiska anteckningar under resor i gouvernements Olonetz somrarna 1875 och 1876." (Meddelanden af Societas pro Fauna et Flora Fennica, haft ii.) One hundred and thirty species are mentioned by Herr * The most northerly locality he reached was the northern shore of Wig Lake, so that all his observations apply to our South-west District.
