[^2471. 0^^.— Irkutsk, River Angara, 25 May (0. S.?). 

 From the Museum of St. Petersburg, through Mr. Dresser, 



1868. 



One of a nest of five, mentioned by Mr. Dresser (B. Eur. iv. p. 220) ; but no 

 further information was furnished to him. The most complete account of the 

 nidification of this species known to me is that in Dr. Taczanowski's * Faune 

 Ornithologique de la Siberie Orientals ' (i. pp. 692, 693).] 



EMBERIZA CIA, Liunseus.

[§ 2474. One. — Lebanon, Palestine, 16 June, 1864. From 

 Mr. Tristram. 



From a nest of six near Hazreen. I do not find that Mr. Tristram has 

 published any notes on the breeding of this species, but in his ' Fauna and Flora 

 of Palestine ' he savs (p. 72) that it " is found in the mountain regions in 

 summer and winter alike, but in small numbers," adding that he met with it 

 " all through Lebanon.'']
