The author accepts some extraordinary aberrations of the pattern and colouring in the breeding plumage of the Yellow Hammer as reversionary trends. On these platform he suggests evolutionary connection between the Cirl Bunting (

Emberiza cirlus L

INNAEUS) and the Yellow Hammer (Emberiza citrinella LINNAEUS). The whole line of descent on the basis of the present and former investigations of the author is as follows.

The colour of the head of the aberrant Yellow Hammer is a feature that shows ahead and suggests the most specific pattern of the Cirl Bunting. IRODALOM - REFERENCES 1. BANNERMAN, D. A.
