159. EMBERIZA PALLASI PALLASI (Cabanis) 



Cynchramus pallasi Cabanis, Mus. Hein., vol. 1, 1851, p. 130 (based on Emher- 

 iza sclwewiclus B. Pallas, Zoogr. ; Transliaikalia, Selenga River). 



Four males, 157 miles west-northwest of Paotow, Inner Mongolia, 

 April 10 and 11; one male, Eastern Tombs, Chihli, January 4. 



Doctor Sushkin ^^ has recently divided this species into three races, 

 but the material at my command will not permit me to go into the 

 matter. Three of the Paotow males have broad white nuchal bands ; 

 much more so than a breeding male from the Kolj^^ma in worn 

 plumage; the white mark on the second outer tail feather in the 

 latter is much smaller also, and it is very doubtful if they belong to 

 the same form. 



160. EMBERIZA RUSTICA Pallas 



Eniberiza rustica Paxlas, Reise Russ. Reichs, vol. 3, 1776, p. 698 ("In sallcetis 

 Dauuriae "). 



One male and two females. Eastern Tombs, Chihli, December 12- 

 January 1. 



161. EMBERIZA ELEGANS TICEHURSTI Sushkin 



EmJjerisa elegatis ticeliursti Sushkin, Bull. Brit. Om. Club, vol. 47, 1926, p. 35 

 (new name for Em'berizcv elegans sibirica Sushkin not Emheriza sibirica 

 Gmelin ; Sidemi). 



One male, Eastern Tombs, Chihli, December 17. 



162, EMBERIZA GODLEWSKII BANGSI Sushkin 



Emberiza ^odlewskii bangsi Sushkin, Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., vol, 38, 

 No, 1, 1925, p. 27 (Pashui, Shansi, China). 



Six males from Kansu: 15 miles northwest of Ninghsia (Holan- 

 shan Mountains) , May 12-17 ; 45 miles northwest of Ninghsia, May 5 \ 

 30 miles east-southeast of Lanchow, July 16, 



This is a larger and lighter-colored form than Emberiza godlewsMi 

 omissa. A male in the United States National Museum (No. 150326) 

 from Tangitar, east Turkestan, June 12, is even lighter and has the 

 white on the two outer tail feathers more extensive than the Kansu 

 bird, and evidently represents Emheriza g. decolorata Sushkin, It 

 is slightly larger, but this might not hold in a series. The Kansu 

 specimens are probably not typical of the race, but intergrades 

 toward ErribeHza g. nanshanica. 



163. EMBERIZA GODLEWSKII NANSHANICA Sushkin 



Emberiza godlewsMi nanshanica Sushkin, Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist, vol 38, 

 No. 1, 1825, p. 24 (Churmyk River, Tibet). 



Four males and two females, Kansu (120 miles south of Lanchow, 

 July 24r- August 12 ; and 100 miles southwest of Lanchow, August 31) . 



32 Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. 38, No. 1, 1925, pp. 20-22.
