THE LARGE-BILLED REED-BUNTING. 



Embertza Pyrrhuloides^ Pallas. 



This large race of Reed-Bunting, with a thicker and heavier bill than our bird, 

 and paler in colour, has twice been taken in England, viz. near Lydd, Kent, in 

 May 1908, and again at Rye, Sussex, in April 191 2. The former appears to 

 belong to the Western, and the latter to the Eastern form of this Bunting.
