This bird, in full nuptial dress, was probably nesting in 

 the Khingans. Its regular breeding-ground is East Siberia, 

 but, according to Kalinowski (Tacz. p. 160), it also breeds 

 sparingly in Corea. It evidently winters in the south of the 

 country, as Capt. Karpow shot three specimens near Yingtzu 

 {S ? Jan. 1, S Sept. 11, 1901).

It is very remarkable to find the Lapland Bunting in 

 Manchuria so late in the season and in full breeding- 

 plumage. One wonders whether a few pairs can remain to 

 nest in the Khingan Mountains. If such prove to be the 

 case, it would be a considerable extension of the breeding- 

 range so far as it is at present known.

In coloration these Skylarks belong to the light race 

 known as A. cantarella Bp. from South-east Europe, but 

 they are perhaps rather greyer, and the measurements are 

 certainly small (the wings average 4'2 in.). I have therefore 

 referred them to Ehmcke's subspecies, retained by Hartert 

 in his ' Vogel der palaarktischen Fauna.' In the British
