the scapulars on each side are conspicuously edged with white. 
The marking is only slightly less extensive than in a specimen 
of Pipilo maculatus oregonus taken at Victoria, B. C.,on August 
1, 1888. Eastern Towhees with spotted scapulars have been 
recorded before but such specimens‘are always of interest. 
Junco hyemalis (Zzvz.). 
An eastern Junco (¢ ad., No. 4956, Miller collection, North 
Truro, Mass., April 12, 1890) has the wing-coverts tipped with 
white so that two distinct bars are formed in each wing when the 
feathers are properly arranged. These bars are narrower than 
in most specimens of the western /unco azkenz, but I have seen 
individuals of the latter in which they are less well developed 
than in the North Truro bird. Juncos with white wing bars have 
been found in the Eastern States before but they are of very rare 
occurrence. 
Piranga erythromelas Vzez//. 
Three adult male Scarlet Tanagers in the collection of Dr. A. K. 
Fisher have conspicuous wing markings strongly suggestive of 
those normally present in the western Piranga ludoviciana. In 
two of these birds (No. 4017, Washington, D. C., May 18, 
1890, and another taken at Sing Sing, N. Y., on May 22, 1880) 
the greater coverts are almost wholly bright scarlet. In the other 
(No. g1g9, Sing Sing, N. Y., May 16, 1881) the greater coverts 
are gamboge yellow narrowly edged with black. The yellow is 
brighter than that occupying the same position in P. Zudoviciana 
but the bar formed by it is not so broad as that of the western 
bird. 
Ampelis cedrorum (Ve7z//.). 
An adult Cedar Bird (No. 5481, Miller collection, Providence, 
R. I., February 18, 1886, J. M. Southwick), otherwise normal, 
has the flight feathers in each wing spotted subterminally 
with dull grayish white. These markings are as nearly alike 
on corresponding feathers of the opposite wings as is ever the
