observed on the Yenisei River. 503 



56. Emberiza citrinella. 



Yellow Buntings were common at Yeniseisk by the middle 

 of May and extended north to lat. 64°. 



57. Emberiza leucocephala. 



Mr. Kibort showed me skins at Krasnoyarsk of the Pine- 

 Bunting and told me it was common there, but I failed to 

 see it at Yeniseisk, although 1 kept a constant watch for it. 

 Seebohm obtained it at the Arctic circle, and Dr. Theel at 

 Krasnoyarsk and at lat. 59° 10' N. 



Emberiza cioides. 



(Dr. Theel mentions the Sibei'iau Meadow-Bunting at 

 Krasnoyarsk.) 



Emberiza spodocephala. 



(Dr. Theel, at Krasnoyarsk and lat. 61= 25' N.) 



58. Emberiza aureola. 



Yellow- breasted Buntings were very numerous around 

 Yeniseisk. They arrived nearly a fortnight later than the 

 Yellow Buntings, and did not appear to be yet nesting when 

 I left Yeniseisk on June 9th. The males were very tame, 

 and sat singing their monotonous song everywhere ; but it 

 was not until some days later that I was able to procure a 

 female. 



Emberiza rustica. 



Seebohm obtained a Rustic Bunting in lat. 62° N., but in 

 spite of a careful search I failed to see any. 



59. 'Emberiza pusilla. 



In 1895 I did not meet with Little Buntings until I reached 

 Toorukhansk on my passage north, but in 1897 I shot one 

 at Yeniseisk, and did not observe them again till I found 

 them nesting near Toorukhansk. After this they were very 

 common till I reached the BrekhofFski Islands, on one of 

 which I found them busily feeding their young (July 25th). 

 Seebohm observed Little Buntings up to about the same 

 latitude (71° N.), but not upon those islands. 



I now possess, with those obtained in 1895, sixteen
