4. Sitta carolinensis. White-bellied Nuthatch. — In a com- 

 .munication recently received from Mr. A. K. Fisher, he informs me of an 



albino specimen of this species, which is the first I have heard occurring

 pure white, except a narrow dark stripe on the crown.

 one wing white, shot at Cranston, R. I., May, 1878. In a recent letter 

 from Mr. F. A. Lucas of Rochester, N. Y., he mentions having seen a 

 Tanager of this species with five of the tail-feathers white. 



9. Pinicola enucleator. Pine Grosbeak. — In Naumann's " Na- 

 turgesch. der Vogel Deutschl." (Vol. IV, p. 410), it is stated that a white 

 or whitish variety has been described, but that it is of very rare occur- 

 rence. He says an example is figured in Sparrmann's " Mus. Carls."

 Sing Sing, N. Y., Oct. 27, 1879, which had the appearance of a white bird 

 when flying. Mr. Henry Garrett of White Horse, Penn., also has a par- 

 tial albino in his collection. The example of albinism in this species 

 mentioned in the Bulletin (Vol. I, p. 21) proved to be another species.
