Two specimens, 6, ¢, from Vancouver Island, are, as Hargitt observes 
(Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus. xviii. pp. 18-19 1890), considerably larger than 
examples from other localities. The colour of the upper parts is much darker, 
and the male has a pronounced vinous shade on the upper breast and belly. The 
female has the rufous malar stripes, slightly more pronounced than in a 
Californian bird, but this is also the case in a young female from Colorado. We 
have no specimens from Mexico.

This species is very generally regarded as a hybrid between C. auratus and C. 
mexicanus. For an elaborate paper on the subject ¢f. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. 
iv. p. 21 et seq. (1892). 
A male bird, from Jasper’s House, differs from a male specimen of C. mexicanus 
from the same locality, in having the colour of the inner side of the quills and 
under surface of the tail pale orange yellow, with a flush only of pink instead of 
bright salmon pink, with no suggestion of yellow. The feathers of the malar 
region are grey on their basal portions ; this is succeeded by a band of black 
running right across the feather, while the extreme tips and margins are dark 
crimson. 
As in C. auratus there is a vermilion nuchal band. The female specimen, which 
is without locality, and which we can only doubtfully refer to this species, has 
the colour of the quill lining, and under surface of the tail intermediate between 
C. auratus and C. mexicanus.
