AVIFAUNA 



322. Chloris chloris (L.). [Groenling]. 



3 specimens. Mr. W. J. Heyligers presented in 1899 to 

 the collection a pale brownish male, caught in the Nether- 

 lands, place and date not known. 



323. Coccothraustes coccothraustes (L.). [Appelvink]. 



We received 4 specimens, caught October 1904, and 

 October and November 1906 on Texel. We have only one 

 fledgling from our country, a female, shot 22 Juue 1859 at 

 Vogelenzang, Noord-Holland. 



324. Emberiza citrinella L. [Geelgors]. 



11 specimens. The brown pectoral band is not always 

 present in birds from our country; a brown malar-stripe 

 is sometimes indicated. 



325. Emberiza leucocephalos S. G. Gmelin. [Witkopgorb]. 

 We possess a male, that has lived in and is purchased 



from the Zoological Garden at Rotterdam and that has 

 been caught 2 May 1873 near Utrecht. The bird shows 

 some traces of albinism at the base of the tail, evidently 

 in consequence of the confinement. 



326. Emberiza cirlus L. [CiRLGORS]. 



No specimen in the collection. Has been caught three 

 or four times in the Netherlands. 



327. Emberiza cia L. [Grijze GORS].

 in the province Gelderland. 



328. Emberiza hortulana L. [Ortolaan]. 



We received only one specimen, a male, caught in autumn 

 1906 near Doornspijk, Gelderland. We possess altogether 

 14 specimens from our country, adults and young ones 

 killed in spring, from Groningen, Gelderland and Valkens- 

 waard, and two killed in autumn at Overveen, Noord- 

 Holland and in Noord-Brabant.
