68 [June, 



I have seen one specimen only of this species, which beionged to the Rivoli 

 collection. 



It is nearly related to Loxia canadensis, Linn., which it strongly resembles in 

 general appearance, but may at once be distinguished by the cinereous lower 

 portion of the whole body above and below, which colour is separated from the 

 yellow of the breast by a well defined line, while in L. canadensis the entire 

 inferior surface is bright yellow. 



The bill of the species now described is larger than that of either of eight spe- 

 cimens of L. canadensis which I have examined.
