104 On the Birds of Tsushima and Iki Islands. [Ibis, 



129. Emberiza cioides ijimsB Stejneger. 



Eleven s})eciniens of this form were obtained by Mr.Teraoka 

 on Tsushima, Oct. 4-28, and ho collected four examples of 

 the same form on Iki Island, Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. I huve 

 recently examined a series of specimens of J^J. cioides from 

 Japan, and come to the conclusion that the form (ijimce) 

 ranges over almost all parts of Kiusiu, including Tanega- 

 shima, Iki, and Tsushima, as well as Quelpart and Dagelet 

 islands. Specimens from Seven Islands of Izu also seem to 

 me to belong to the present form. The form is distinguish- 

 able from ciopsis from Hondo and Hokkaido by the ear- 

 coverts being tinged with chestnut and the side of the 

 crown being distinctly reddish chestnut. The form is not 

 found in the peninsula of Corea, where castaneiceps occurs. 

 Dr. Ijima (pp. 114-115) and Seebohm (Ibis, 1892, p. 93) 

 reported it from Tsushima. 



130. Emberiza elegans Temminck. 



Eight males were brought back from Tsushima. They 

 were collected Oct. 3-29. Dr. Ijima (p. 116) and Seebohm 

 (Ibis, 1892^ p. 94) reported it from the same islands. Very 

 common on the islands. It seems that the female of this 

 species is very scarce. 



131. Emberiza rustica Pallas. 



A female specimen was brought home. It was obtained 

 at Nukadake-murn, Tsushima, Oct. 28. Seobohm (Ibis, 

 1892, p. 93) reported it from the same islands. It is an 

 autumn and winter visitor. 



132. Emberiza spodocephala personata Tcmm. 



Dr. Ijima (p. 116) mentioned this form from Tsushima. 



133. Emberiza sulphurata Temm. & Schl. 



Two examples of this species were obtained by Mr. Teraoka 

 on Tsushima, Oct. 23. Seebohm (Ibis, 1892, p. 93) reported 

 it from Tsushima, April 14. It is probably a resident.
