52. Emberiza aureola. 



Common in the reed-beds up to the beginning of November. 

 After that it was absent from Peking until the middle of 

 May, from which time it became plentiful, but only stayed 

 for about a month. 



53. Emberiza pusilla. 



I did not see the Dwarf Bunting until early in October. 

 It was excessively common all through the winter, and 

 remained, but in diminished numbers, until the middle of 

 July, when I left Peking. It has a long, rather pretty, but 

 weak song. 



54. Emberiza rustica. 



I shot a few specimens of this Bunting in the middle of 

 October, but did not see it again. 



55. Emberiza schceniclus. 



Very common, from December onwards, through the 

 winter. 



56. Emberiza leucocephala. 



I saw a few small flocks of the Pine-Bunting, and shot 

 some specimens, during very severe weather, at the end of 

 February. 



57. Emberiza rutila. 



The Chestnut Bunting arrived about the middle of May. 

 It has a single loud call-note. 



58. Emberiza spodocephala. 



Common during the spring migration in May. My speci- 

 mens quite bear out Mr. Hume's observations (' Stray 

 Feathers,' vol. xi. p. 276) that Chinese specimens of this 

 Bunting have the throat and breast much more grey than 

 those from India. 



59. Emberiza elegans. 



A few examples of this species were brought to me by a 

 bird-catcher at the end of May. I did not see it wild myself. 



60. Emberiza castaneiceps. 



I shot a few specimens at the end of May.
