[§ 2476. 0?ie. — Near Malaga. From Don Franzesco de los

[§ 2477. Five. — Mount Parnassus. From Dr. Kriiper, through 

 Mr. Dresser, 1889.

[§ 2478. One.—KxM]% 9 May (0. S. ?), 1887. From Ilerr 

 Tancre, 1888. 



Received as the egg of Emberiza stracheyi, but neither under that name nor 

 that of E. cia is the bird mentinned by HH. E. F. von Homeyer and 'i'ancie 

 in their paper on the ornithology of Western Siberia (Mitth, orn. Ver. Wieii, 

 1883, pp. 81-92). Dr. Sharpe (Cat. B. Br. Mus. xii. p. 540) stales that 

 " E. stracheyi is only a dark-coloured race of E. cia, and in some examples cau 

 scarcely be distinguished from the latter species," of which it seems to be an 

 Eastern form.]

 Verreaux, 1873.

 figures of two of its eggs, is given in the 'Journal fiir Ornithologie ' for 1873

 zanowski for verification in 1888.]
