Abstract
The National Museum of the Czech Republic, possesses 155 specimens (skins and mounts) of 63 species of birds from Transcarpathia, mostly collected during 1930–1938 when that region was a part of the then Czechoslovakia. Full list of these specimens is given here. The most important collections were made by Julius Komárek (1892–1955) in 1930–1933, Otakar Štěpánek (1903–1995) in 1937, and V. Danihelka (fl. 1934–1938) in 1934–1938. This paper fills a gap in the history of ornithological research in Zakarpattia and provides valuable historical data on the distribution of birds in that region. However, no species listed here are new to or rarities in the region.
