Abstract
THE Kazan Society of Naturalists, which began its Memoirs in 1871 with the remarkable work of M. M. Bogdanoff on the birds and mammals of the black earth region of the basin of the Volga, has continued since to publish a series of most valuable explorations of the region of the lower Ural, Volga, and Siberia. We notice thus in the first eight volumes of its Memoirs the researches on earthquakes in Siberia, in Turkestan, and on the Ural, by M. Orloff; several valuable papers on the Geology of the Obschiy Syrt plateau, by M. Sintsoff; of the Government of Vyatka, by M. Krotoff; of the Government of Kazan, by Prof. Stuckenberg; and of the banks of the Kania, by M. Zaïtseff; a work on the birds of Caucasus, by M. Bogdanoff; a paper on the Teleostei of the mouth of the Volga, by M. Yakovleff; the history of the development of the Acipenser sturio, by M. Zalensky; and myco-logical researches, by M. Sorokin; several papers on the flora of the Government of Perm, by M. Kryloff; and two papers by M. Levakovsky on the substitution of certain species of plants for others in a given region; as well as several valuable researches into the anthropology of the Bashkirs, Voguls, and Votyaks, by MM. Malieff, Sorokin, and Ostrovsky.
