(?) Eophona personata magnirostris HARTERT. Amur Grosbeak, 4 
Eophona personata magnirostris HARTERT: Bull. Brit. Ornith. Club, v, 1896, xxxvimr (Amur- 
land). 
On the T’ai-shan, Shan-tung, we saw several of these birds in cedar groves. The 
Chinese tame the grosbeaks and teach them a variety of simple tricks. One of these is 
to fly after and retrieve a light ball of pith tossed into the air. Among the bird fanciers 
it is known as ‘‘La-tsui’’ (hot-bill). 
Emberiza rustica PALLAs. Rustic Bunting. 
Emberiza rustica PALLAS: Reise Russ. Reichs, 111, 1776, 698 (Dauria). 
Common in the hedges and orchards of the Shan-tung hills, in October and early in 
November. 
Specimen No. 6004. Collected October 30, in a cedar grove near Ch’ang-hia. 
Specimen No. 6009. Collected November 3, 1903, among willows in a mountain 
gully near same place. 
Emberiza castaneiceps Moore. Chestnut-headed Bunting. 
Emberiza castaneiceps Moore: Proc. Zool. Soc. London for 1855, February 5, 1856, 215 (‘‘Kin- 
tang, in China’’). 
This is the commonest member of the genus in the mountains of Shan-tung and western 
Chi-li, during the winter. On account of its preference for mountain ravines and hillsides, 
the natives call the bird ‘‘Shan-cha-ch’iau”’ (mountain sparrow), to distinguish it from the 
house sparrow. 
Specimen No. 6003. Collected October 9, 1903, at Ch’ang-hia, Shan-tung. 
Specimen No. 6012. Collected November 15, 1903, in long grass on the summit of 
T’ai-shan (elevation 5,000 feet, 1,500 meters). 
Emberiza leucocephala §.G. GMELIN. Pine Bunting. 
Emberiza leucocephala GMELIN: Novi Comm. Petrop., Xv, 1771, 480, plate 23, 3 (‘‘Astrachan’’), 
This bunting is probably common during the winter in Shan-si and western Chi-li, but 
it is easily confused with E. castanetceps. 
Specimen No. 6018. Collected January 14, 1904, in a grove of cedar trees, near Ning- 
shan, Chi-li. 
Emberiza yunnanensis SHARPE. Ydnnan Bunting. 
Emberiza yunnanensis SHARPE: Bull. Brit. Ornith. Club, xm, October 31, 1902, 12 (‘‘Gyi-dzin- 
shan, east of Talifu, western Yunnan”’), 
This takes the place of E. castaneiceps, in Shan-si and Shen-si, from the Wu-t’ai region 
to the southern boundary of the latter province. It is especially common about the 
brushy gulches in the Ts’in-ling mountains. 
Specimen No. 6027. Collected February 17, 1904, in a canyon in the Yau-t’éu dis- 
trict, eastern Shan-si. 
Emberiza elegans TEMMINCK. Elegant Bunting. 
Emberiza elegans TEMMINCK: PI. Col. 111 (livr. 98), 1835, plate 583, 1 (Japan). 
This handsome species is characteristic of the high Ts’in-lings and the mountains of the 
Han basin, in Apriland May. It makes its nest in the underbrush along the water courses. 
Specimen No. 6049. Collected April 23, 1904, at Liu-yiié-ho, in the valley of the 
Hei-shui-ho, Shen-si. 
Emberiza sulphurata TEMMINCK & SCHLEGEL. Sulphur-bellied Bunting. 
Emberiza sulphurata TEMMINCK & SCHLEGEL: Fauna Japonica, Aves, 1850, 100, pl. 60 (Japan), 
This species was observed only in the higher parts of the Ts’in-ling mountains, early 
in May, in company with the last species. 
Specimen No. 6059. Collected April 29, 1904, at Siau-wang-kién.
