1887.] THE FAUNA OF COREA. 583 



Emberiza ciopsis, Swinh. (nee Bp.) P. Z. S. 1853, p. 300 (South 

 China); id. ibid. 1871, p. 388. 



Emberiza giglioUi, Swinh. Ibis, 1867, p. 393 (Amoy in winter). 



Emberiza cioides, subsp. gigliolii, Seebohm, Ibis, 1879, p. 38 

 (China). 



Two specimens. 



a. 6 1 Fusan (Corea), 5th August, 1880. 



b. 5 ? Fusan, 3rd August, 1880. 



The second specimen is a young bird, the first an adult with 

 feathers much worn ; the latter compared with two fine specimens 

 of E. cioides, Brandt, from Krasnoyarsk (Central Siberia), differs in 

 its notably smaller dimensions and also in having the chestnut band 

 across the chest less distinct. Mr. Seebohm, who has (/. c.) clearly 

 indicated the difference in size of the two forms, writes to us that 

 the type of Emberiza castaneiceps, Moore, in the British Museum, 

 is identical with the type of E. gigliolii, Swinh., in his own collec- 

 tion.

a. (S 1 Fusan, August 2nd, 1880. 



h. 6 1 Fusan, August 4th, 1880. 



Both are perfectly adult birds. Evidently the specific name must 

 be spelt fuscata, as it was originally written by Pallas ; and not 

 fucata, which is a misprint and a word devoid of sense. 



10. CORVUS japonensis, Bp. 



Corvus macrorhynchus, Schleg. (nee Wagl.), Faun. Jap., Aves, 

 p. 79, tab. 39 B (1850). 



Corone japonensis, Sharpe, Cat. Birds B. M. iii. p. 41 (1877). 



a. Olga Bay, September 1879. 



Our specimen is moulting, with feathers incompletely developed, 

 perhaps a young bird. It is similar to a specimen shot at Ajiro 

 (Japan) in July 1866, by one of us during the voyage of the 

 'Magenta,' and now in the Turin Museum, but has a rather 

 shorter bill ; this may, however, be owing to difference in age or 

 sex. It happens to be intermediate between the last-mentioned speci- 

 men and one of C. sinensis, Gould, from Pekin, also in the Turin 

 Museum. 



It is not improbable that the Olga Bay specimen may belong 

 to a distinct species, for, if in our specimen the rectrices "are fully 

 developed, the tail of the Olga Bay bird is much more rounded than 

 that of C. sinensis. Both C. japonensis and C. sinensis have the 

 basal portion of the feathers grey, whilst they are white in C. macro- 

 rhynchus, C. validxis, and C. enca.
