Fossil remains of felids from Geographical Society Cave and neighboring localities (Tigrovaya Cave, Malaya Pensau Cave, and Letuchiya Mysh Cave) in the Russian Far East are found to belong to four species: Panthera tigris, P. spelaea, P. pardus, and Lynx lynx. In Geographical Society Cave, the felid fossils are confined to deposits of the warm stage of the Late Pleistocene (MIS3). The simultaneous presence of Panthera tigris and P. spelaea seems to be unusual, the tiger remains being numerous whereas those of the cave lion are scant. There are differences between the Late Pleistocene tiger and the recent tiger in dental characters. P. tigris, most probably, migrated twice to Russian Far East from southern regions: in interstadial MIS3 and, subsequently, in the Holocene.

The participation of European entomologists from among the Austro- Hungarian army prisoners of World War I in the research of the Siberian and Amur entomofauna is considered. Despite the fact that they were doing this in conditions of lack of freedom, their mass collection yielded appreciable results. The biographical information about Karl Ferdinand Mandl (1891– 1989), Stepan Jurechek (1877–1940), Hermann Frib (1877–1947), Josef Michel (1890–1963) and Alfred Biener (1892(?)–1954), which are known from publications of entomologists processed their collections or materials, is given. Some little-known events from the activities in the South Ussuriysk branch of the Amur department of the Russian Geographical Society in Nikolsk-Ussuriysk, and in the life of Evgenia Nikolaevna Klobukova-Alisova (1889–1962) and Alexei Ivanovich Kurentsov (1896–1975) are described. The translation of memories on this time by A. Biener is included in the Appendix.
