Abstract
Emberiza pallasi (Cabanis) is recorded from Japan for the first time. Two adult males were taken in Saga Prefecture (Kyushiu), on January 27, 1924 and March 1, 1925. Although further study of the species may prove it to be monotypic, E. p. pallasi (Cabanis) and E. p. polaris Middendorff are here considered as valid races. One of the specimens is identified as E. p. pallasi; the specimen being larger (wing 75.5) and paler than those from Manchuria and Mongolia. The other is smaller (wing 67.5) and is referable to E. p. polarie.
