49. Cyncbramus arundinaceus Brehm = Emberiza schoeniclus canneti. 



Cynchramus arundinaceus Brehm (nee Gmelin 1774), Handb. Naturg. Voj. Deutschl. p. 1012 (1831 — 



Triest). 



Type: <J3. x. 1829. Triest. Coll. by Michahelles. 



It is interesting to note that C. L. Brehm put on the label in brackets : 

 " Emberiza intermedia Michahelles." Cf. Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 197, 

 where the name arundinacea (nee Gmelin, 1774 — cf. p. 195 !) might be added. 



50. Cynchramus pseudo-pyrrhuloides Brehm = Emberiza schoeniclus schoeniclus. 



Cynchramus pseudo-pyrrhuloides Brelim, Vogeljang, p. 115 (1855 — Triest). 



Type : S ad., in fresh autumn plumage, Triest, 19. x. 1829. 



Unless there is a mistake about the locality of the type of arundinaceus, 

 which need not be supposed, E. schoeniclus canneti would seem to be the breeding 

 form at Triest, while E. schoeniclus schoeniclus passes through on migration. 



51. Plectrophanes groenlandicus Brehm = Calcarius lapponicus lapponicus.* 



Plectrophanes groenlandicus Brehm. Handb. Naturg. Vog. Devtschl. p. 307 (1831 — Greenland). 



Type: ^ ad., Greenland, June 1821. 



52. Plectrophanes borealis Brehm = Plectrophenax nivalis.^; 



Plecirophanes borealis Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Vog. Deutschl. p. 305 (1831 — " Gronland "). 

 Type : <J ad., Greenland, 15. vi. 1822. 



53. Melanocorypha calandra megarhynchos Brehm = M. calandra calandra. 



Mrlanocorypha calandra ni'g irhynrhos Brehm, Naunuinnia, 1S.5C. p. 374 ("In Algerien und auf 

 Sardinien "). 



Type • (J ad., Algeria, spring. 



54. Melanocorypha semitorquata Brehm = M. calandra calandra. 



Melanocorypha semilorjiiata Bie'im, Naumannia, 1856. p. 374 ("An der Wolga bei Sarepta "). 



. Type : <J Sarepta, May 1853. 



The specimen is shot in the foreneck, and this partly caused the almost 

 united black patches across the jugulum. 



55. Melanocorypha rufescens Brehm = M. bimaculata. 



Milanocorypha rufescens Breliin, Veigeljang. p. 120 (1855 — " Im Winter im Sudahn ") ; Naumannia, 

 1856. p. 375. 



Type : 5 Blue Nile, xii. 1850. A. E. Brehm leg. 



* To the synonyms of Calcarius lapponicus lapponicus must be added : Emberiza subcalcarata 

 Brehm. Isis, 1826. p, 930 ("Gronland"). No specimen in the collection is named " subcal-carata,^' 

 but there is hardly any doubt that the type of groenlandicus is. also that of subcalcarata, and that 

 the name was merely changed in 1831. 



t To the synonyms of Plectrophenax nivalis must be added : Emberiza subnivalis Brehm, Isis, 

 1826. p. 929 (" Gronland, Island "). No specimen in the collection now bears the name subnivalis^ 

 but there is no doubt that the type of borealis 1331 served also for the description of subnivalis 

 1826, and is thus the type of both names.
