Sevtrtzoff's 'Fauna of Turkestan.' 249 



Embbriza pallasi, Cab. 



Emberiza schceniclus /S. minor, Severtzoff, pp. 64^ 118. 



Mr. Severtzoff remarks (p. 118) that he fully agrees with 

 Herr von Homeyer in considering Emberiza polaris, Midd., 

 a good species. He met with numbers of Reed-Buntings in 

 Turkestan during passage, many of which belonged to the 

 small form {E. pallasi) ; but he also obtained intermediate 

 specimeus. E. polaris, however, he never met with. Both 

 forms of Emberiza schceniclus {E. schceniclus and E. pallasi) 

 were found consorting together in spring, from the end of 

 January to the early part of March, near Chickment, and 

 in the autumn, from the early part of October on the Issik- 

 kul, and from the beginning of September near Aulje-ata. 

 The measurements of E. pallasi he gives as " total length 

 6*2 to 6'4 inches, extent 9 to 9 6,'' and adds that it may be 

 distinguished by the wing-coverts being light reddish brown, 

 whereas in E. polaris they are greyish.
