14 ART. lo. — E. LÖNNBEKG : 



broader cinnamon brown borders. Underparts rather pale yellow, 

 unspotted on chin and belly, with dark brown shaft-streaks on 

 foreneck, breast and sides, where the ground colour is at the 

 same time richer and more ochraceous yellow. A huffish eye- 

 stripe extends to the nape ; earco verts brownish, sometimes more 

 dusky, sometimes more yellowish gray, but always dark in contrast 

 against the eye-stripe and the yellowish of the throat. 



The great difference between young and adult birds of 

 this species is quite remarkable, especially the absence in the 

 former of the characteristic chestnut colour even on the rumj). 



According to Prof. Ijima, the species occurs commonly in 

 all the parts of JSaghalin visited by him.

Hartert has suspected that the Emberiza i^ersonata quoted 

 by NiKOLSKi as a common bird in Saghalin may not be the 

 same as the E. jicrsonaia of Japan, assuming it to represent " eine 

 anscheinend der E. s. melanops sehr nahestehende form mit 

 gelberer Unterseite und grünlicherer Färbung auf dem Kopfe." 

 I have compared the Haghalin specimens with good specimens
