Zoological Miscellany. 215 



Pants bicolor (Linn ) Tufted Tidmouse. 



In the collection of A. W. Brayton, M. D., Indianapolis, Ind., 

 is a Tufted Titmouse which is all white excepting the two middle 

 tail feathers, the primaries and two or three feathers in the crest. 



Sitta caroliiie7isis (Lath.) White-breasted Nuthatch. 



In March last I had sent to me by Mr. E. L. Guthrie, Adams, 

 Ind., a specimen of this bird of the pallescent form of albinism. 

 It was very pale drab, in some parts almost white. The specimen 

 is now in the collection of Mr. Forrest West, Greensburg, Ind. 



Regulus satrapa (Licht.) Golden-crowned Kinglet. 



So far as I am aware no albinos have been reported from the 

 birds of this genus. A specimen in my collection, No. 3106, 

 from Raleigh, N. C., has the head, wings and lower parts of the 

 regulation colors, but the remaining feathers are yellowish-white and 

 ashy white excepting the tail, the outer vanes of which are broadly 

 marked with the former color, the remaining parts being of normal 

 coloration. 



Ampelis ccdrorum (Vieill.) Cedar Waxwing. 



No. 2154 of my collection is almost pure white. One 

 secondary in each wing, one feather in the greater coverts of the 

 left wing, a few spots on the sides of the neck show traces of the 

 usual color. The belly and tip of the tail shows the usual yellow 

 tint. The waxen tips of the wing feathers are present. The bill 

 and feet are very pale. 



Passer domestica (Linn.) House Sparrow. 



Birds of this species with albinistic tendencies are quite com- 

 mon. Generally they have part of the plumage decidedly paler 

 than the usual colors, but occasionally one is found of a creamy 

 tint over most of the body. As the number of sparrows increases, 

 so do the pale colored individuals, and sometimes two or three 

 noticable birds appear in a single flock. 



Quiscalus quiscala ccneus (Ridgvv.) Bronzed Grackle. 



For several years a Bronzed Grackle having one of the 

 primaries of its left wing white, appeared in a certain locality near 

 Brookville. Its conspicuous mark made it the target for many a 

 gun and doubtless some unlucky hunter caused its death.
