The Yellow-breasted Bunting of the Arctic Zoologyand Latham is one of those northern species, especiallynoticed by Pallas, which have a common habitat alongthe borders of the two continents of Europe and ranges from the Ural mountains to Kamtschatka, and. YELLOW-HEADED BUNTING. 61 is recorded by Temminck and Degland as having beenseen during its migration in the Crimea. I do not,however, find any notice of its occurrence there by or Captains Blaldston and Irby. Latham says itinhabits the pine forests of Katherinesburg, and that itis not met with on the poplars and willows in the islandsof the Irtish and other rivers in Siberia. Middendorffnotices its occurrence in his Siberische Beise; andBrehm, in his description of eggs in Badekers work,has the following notice:— This pretty little Bunting dwells among the busheswhich overgrow the low meadow land of Siberia, fromthe Ural to Kamtschatka. It builds an half-globularnest away from the ground, of sedges, grasses, or rushes,and lines its inside with feathers and hairs. It laysfive eggs of a very pretty short oval shape, the ground-work of which is greyish green, with grey and blackishveins, black brown borde
