19 FRINGILLIDE 
Subfamily EMBERIZINA. 
95. EMBERIZA MILIARIA, Linn. Corn-Bunting. 
Common and resident, nesting, but at the same time rather local. 
A very considerable immigration in September, flocks containing many 
hundreds frequenting the coast stubbles. A return movement in the 
coast districts in the early spring. 
96. EXMBERIZA CITRINELLA, Linn. Yellow-Bwnting. 
Resident, extremely plentiful and nesting. Large numbers arrive on 
migration in September and October. Immense flocks occasionally 
observed in the coast districts in March and early April on the spring 
migration. 
97. EmBeriza crrLus, Linn. Cirl-Bunting. 
Chiefly in N.W. Lincolnshire, Manton Common and about Gains- 
borough, districts where it is probably resident. A rare and casual 
visitor to other parts of the district, chiefly in the autumn and winter. 
98. EMBERIZA CIO1DES, Brandt. Brandt's Siberian Bunting. 
One was caught by a fisherman at the base of the cliff at Flam- 
borough Head early in November, 1886, and set up by Mr. M. Bailey, 
who subsequently sold it to Mr. R. W. Chase, of Birmingham, for his 
collection. Described and figured in the ‘ Ibis,’ 1889, p. 293-6, plate 10. 
99. EMBERIZA HORTULANA, Linn. Ortolan. 
May 3rd, 1888, one at Great Cotes, North Lincolnshire |‘ Zool.,’ 
1883, pp. 258-4]. 
October 11th, 1889, immature female shot at Easington by Mr. 
Hewetson [‘ Nat.,’ 1890, p. 8]. 
100. Emperriza Rustica, Pall. Rustic Bunting. 
September 17th, 1881, one, a female or young male, shot on Easing- 
ton beach by Mr. Townend [‘ Zool.,’ 1881, p. 465]. This is now in the 
York Museum. 
101. Emperiza scHenicius, Linn. Reed-Bunting. 
Resident and nesting. There is a regular migration into the marsh 
districts in the early spring when the birds arrive in pairs at their 
summer haunts. A heavy autumn immigration into the coast districts, 
where they often swarm in September and October. A few remain to 
winter. 
102. PLECTROPHENAX NIVALIS (Linn.) Snow-Bunting. 
A regular winter visitor in flocks to the coast districts in the latter 
autumn and winter—in some years in enormous number, as 1870-’71-'72- 
73, 1877-'78, 1881-’83-’84, 1890-’91 and ’92, also ’95 and ’96. The 
character of the winter appears to have no influence on their abundance 
or otherwise. Earliest arrivals observed September 7th and 8th in 1882. 
Depart early in the spring; latest occurrences are April 1st to 20th. 
There is a small race of snow-bunting which occasionally visit the coast 
districts, but is not common. 
108. CALCARIUS LAPPOoNICUs (Linn.) Lapland-Bunting. 
Occasional winter visitor. In November, 1893, abundant both at 
Flamborough Head and the Lincolnshire coast district [‘ Zool.,’ 1894, 
pp. 19-20 ‘ Nat.,’ 1894, p. 89]. On May 11th, 1898, Mr. Bailey and I saw 
an adult male on the turf close to the edge of the Bempton cliffs 
[‘ Zool.,’ 1893, p. 225-6].
