* “Somewhat smaller than Z. leucoptera, but with about the same length of wing, the tail at least 
10™" shorter. Distinguished by its coloration. The red in ground tone is nearest that of the ‘‘ Haken- 
gimpel”’ [Pinicola enucleator] but everywhere darker, and saturated, as it were, with black, this color 
extending indefinitely both on the back as well as on the middle of the belly to the breast, as also on 
the lower tail-coverts. The feet are even darker colored than in leucoptera. The wing-bands are un- 
affected for the most part, although not quite so broad. This is especially seen in the first or terminal 
band, which begins, scarcely visible, at the edge of the wing, and remains very inconsiderable to the 
middle, then quickly expands to a great rounded spot. The extent of the second band is everywhere 
much more limited than in leucoptera.” 
“‘This is decidedly not a melanism, as is shown, not alone by the character of the coloration, but by 
the ocurrence of two old males exactly alike.” 
‘“My two birds came from North America.” —[7ranslation.] 
+‘‘The dark Linnet is nearest to this species in size, but it is easily distinguished by many features. 
The whole upper parts are blackish brown, with very narrow margins to the feathers of whitish and 
rusty yellow, which, on the rump, return to the ground color; on the sides of the head the feathers also 
have very fine, rusty white margins; the throat-spot is very large; the entire under parts to the mid- 
dle of the belly are densely covered with many large, dark brown longitudinal streaks. Two birds 
killed in Lapland, June—July (sexes not determined), show a tender red on the side of the head. The
