38. Cardinalis virginianus igneus (Baird). 

 Common. 



[A fine series, including nine males and three females of this excellent 

 race. — R. R.j 



39. Pyrrhuloxia sinuata Bp. 



Eather rare, less so in the interior. 



[The five adult males from Lower California difl:er from an equal num- 

 ber of Texan examples in having the red of an appreciably lighter, less 

 rosy, tint, and that around the fore part of the head very much clearer. 

 An example from Camp Grant, Ariz., agrees with the peninsular 

 specimens in this respect. It is possible that a largeo series will show 

 these differences to be constant. In specimens obtained in Ajiril the 

 bill is now, after the lapse of three months' time, still deep orange-col- 

 ored, while in winter specimens the bill is horn-colored, the mandible 

 paler, but scarcely inclining to yellowish. — E. E.]

 ever of blue. — R. E.]
