49. Cyuchramus arundinaceus Brehm = Emheriza schoeniclus canneti. 



Cynchramus arundinaceus Brehm (neo Gmelin 1774), Handb. Naturg. Vog. DeutscM. p. 1012 (1831 — 

 Triest). 



Type: 5 3.x. 1829. Triest. Coll. by Mchahdles. 



It is interesting to note that C. L. Brehm put on the label in brackets : 

 " Emberiza intermedia MichaheUes." Cf. Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 197, 

 where the name arundinacea (nee Gmelin, 1774 — cf. p. 195 !) might be added. 



50. -Cynchramus pseudo-pyrrhuloides Brehm = Emberiza schoeniclus schoeniclus. 

 Cynchramus pseudo-pyrrhuloides Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 115 (1855 — Triest). 



Type : 3 ad., in fresh autumn plumage, Triest, 19. x. 1829. 



Unless there is a mistake about the locality of the type of arundinaceus, 

 which need not be supposed, E. schoeniclus canneti would seem to be the breeding 

 form at Triest, while E. schoeniclus schoenichis passes through on migration. 



51. Plectrophanes groenlandicus Brehm = Galcarius lapfonicus lafponicus.* 

 Plectrophanes groenlandicus Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Vog. Deutschl. p. 307 (1831 — Greenland). 

 Type: S ad., Greenland, June 1821. 



52. Plectrophanes borealis Brehm = Plectrophenax nivalis."}- 

 Plectroplianes borealis Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Yog. Deutschl. p. 305 (1831 — " Gronland "). 

 Type: $ ad., Greenland, 15. vi. 1822. 



53. Melanocorypha calandra megarhynchos Brehm = M. calandra calandra. 



Mdanocorypha calandra mcgirhynchns Brehm, Naumannia, 1856. p. 374 (" In Algerien und auf 

 Sardinien "). 



Type • 5 ad., Algeria, spring. 



54. Melanocorypha semitorftuata Brehm = M. calandra calandra. 

 Melanocorypha semitorguata Brelim, Naumannia, 1856. p. 374 (" An der Wolga bei Sarepta "). 



Type : <? Sarepta, May 1853. 



The specimen is shot in the foreneck, and this partly caused the almost 

 united black patches across the jugulum. 



55. Melanocorypha rufescens Brehm = M. bimaculata. 



Mdanocorypha rufescens Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 120 (1855 — " Im Winter im Sudahn ") ; Naumannia, 

 1856. p. 375. 



Type : $ Blue Nile, xii. 1850. A. E. Brehm leg. 



" To the synonyms of Calcarius lapponicus lapponicus must be added : Emberiza subcatcarata 

 Brehm Isis 1826. p. 930 (" Gronland"). No specimen in the collection is named " subcalcarata,"- 

 but there is hardly any doubt that the type of groenlandicus is also that of subcalcarata, and that 

 the name was merely changed in 1831. 



t To the sjmonyms of Plectrophenax nivalis must be added : Emberiza subnivaUs Brehm, Isis, 

 1826. p 929 (" Gronland, Island "). No specimen in the collection now bears the name svbrwvaUs, 

 but there is no doubt that the type of borealis 1831 served also for the description of sujymvalis 

 1826, and is thus the type of both names.
