On the Birds of Archangel. 371 



PYRRHULA ROSACE A, sp. nov. 



Among some skins sent by Pryer from Yokohama are three 

 male Bullfinches, which differ from P. orientalis in having 

 the slate-grey of the upper parts slightly suffused with ver- 

 milion and the slate-grey of the underparts very much so. 

 Judging from the underparts alone, these birds might pass 

 for intermediate forms between P. orientalis and P. major ; 

 but the fact that neither of these species has any trace of 

 red on the back precludes the possibility of this being the 

 case. Besides the three males of this form from Japan, I have 

 two adult males, one male of the year, and one female from 

 the island of Askold, and a male and female from the Kurile 

 Islands. The females do not apparently differ from those of 

 P. orientalis. I propose to call this species P. rosacea. 



XXVII. Notes on the Birds of Archangel. 

 By HENRY SEEBOHM. 



(Plate XI.) 



THE following notes on the birds of Archangel and the sur- 

 rounding district were furnished to me by Mr. Henke*, who 

 resided in that city for several years, and thus has had a better 

 opportunity of making a complete list than any ornithologists 

 who have previously written on the subject. 



HALTAETUS ALBICILLA. 



The White-tailed Eagle is not very common, and was not 

 found breeding near Archangel by Henke. It is a resident. 



AQUILA CHRYSAETOS. 



The Golden Eagle is very common in March and April on 

 the road to Pinega, and is said to breed in the forests south 

 of Archangel. 



AQUILA LAGOPUS. 



The Rough-legged Buzzard passes on migration.
