iSSS.J Chapman oh Birds obserz'ed at Gttinesvillc, Florida. 2 7"^ 



April 14, females two days later, and after this date they were common in 

 pairs, not inhabiting pine lands exclusively, but being equally common in 

 dense scrubs. 



An adult male, taken April 15, has appearing from the left side of the 

 pygostyle, in addition to the eleven fully formed rectrices, three new 

 and growing feathers, measuring 1.54 inches in length, of a pale tawny 

 color, thus diftering from those of either normal male or female. 



In a female taken April 20, there is a peculiar blending of the color of 

 both sexes, the red of the male predominating, which gives it a unique 

 rosy appearance.
