Abstract
IN the summer, 1928, the Russian Academy of Sciences sent a zoological expedition to Mongolia, under the direction of A. Y. Tougarinov, who gives a short preliminary account of it in Priroda, No. 12, 1928. The problem of the expedition was the study of the Mongolian fauna to the east of Urga, a region which so far had not been zoologically investigated. The expedition took the route south-east of Urga. Plains, with occasional chains of comparatively low mountains, or individual peaks, distinguished by extreme poverty and uniformity of fauna, stretch east of Urga practically to Hingan.
