110. Emberiza ciopsis, 



Bonaparte's Japanese Bunting is common on Tsu-sima 

 and appears to be a resident, as examples were procured in 

 January, March, April, and May. It is represented in Corea 

 by Emberiza cioides, with chestnut-brown instead of nearly 

 black ear-coverts. Examples of the latter species were ob- 

 tained in Corea during the cruise of the ' Vettor Pisani ' 

 (Giglioli and Salvador!, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1877, p. 582), by 

 M. Kalinowski (Taczanowski, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1887, p. 60G), 

 and by Mr, Campbell, 



Mr. Hoist describes the irides as brown, the bill as greyish 

 black on the upper and greyish blue on the under mandible, 

 in both cases shading to greyish white on the edges ; legs 

 greyish flesh-colour, feet darker. 



113. Emberiza rustic a. 



A male Rustic Bunting was shot on the 18th of January. 



115. Emberiza sulphurata. 



A male shot on the 14th of April is interesting as an 

 example of a Japanese species which is not known to have 

 occurred in Corea, nor in any other part of North China.
