De Schauensee " took a male at Chiengdao, 5,000 feet, January 12, 

 and another at Chiengmai, 5,000 feet, February 4; Deignan ^* reports 

 seeing one high up on Doi Angka in April 1931, but did not secure it. 



This species breeds in northeastern Europe and northern Asia and 

 migrates south through China to southern China, Indo-China, Siam, 

 Burma, and Bengal to winter. 



EMBERIZA AUREOLA Pallas 



Emberiza aureola Pallas, Reise durch verschiedene Provinzen des russischen 

 Reichs, vol. 2, pp. 464, 711, 1773 (Irtisch River, Siberia). 



One male, Prae, April 10, 1930; one male, Bangkok, October 30, 

 1924; one female, Noan Wat, Korat Plateau, February 14, 1929; 

 six males and one female, Knong Phra, Pak Chong, April 12, 13, 1929. 



Two of the males from Knong Phra have acquired a plumage 

 approximating the breeding dress, which is assumed in the spring by 

 a complete molt and wear. 



This species breeds in Siberia from eastern Russia eastward and 

 migrates through China in great numbers to winter in Indo-China, 

 Siam, Burma, and northern India. 



Apparently it is a common winter migrant to Siam and has been 

 taken in Peninsular Siam as far south as Nawngchik, Patani, in 

 November.^® 



Muller^° records a female from Junkseylon (Puket), May 11, a 

 very late date. 



Cliasen and Kloss ^' record two males from Raheng, They give 

 no date, but one of the specimens is in the United States National 

 Museum and was taken April 25. lOoss ^^ records a male from Koh 

 Kram, October 1916; Gyldenstolpe " took a female at Chum Poo, 

 May 2 ; de Schauensee ^* took a pair at Petrieu, May 6 and 8 ; Deignan^* 

 reports it a common winter visitor at Chiengmai and thinks it doubtless 

 occurs regularly.
