Swinhoe says that the Siberian Meadow-Bunting is a 
winter visitant to Formosa, but not common. The form 
referred to is probably the so-called EH. castaneiceps Moore, 
but the British Museum contains no examples from Formosa. 
We cannot see any reasonable grounds for separating 
E. castaneiceps from typical EH. cioides, as the characters 
given are not constant [cf. Hartert, Vog. Pal. Faun. pt. 11. 
p. 186 (1904)].
