20. Caedinalis ViRGiNiANUs, Nob. C. ruber ; guld et capistro 

 nigris ; caudd valde rotundatd ; rostra conico, subdentato. 



Hab. Throughout N. America. 



Finding in the collection of the Zoological Society two beautiful 

 undescribed species of this my new form, I take this opportunity of 

 making them known, especially as both come from Mexico. They 

 all preserve the short rounded wings and lengthened tail, and even 

 the crested head and red colours. As to the different shape of the 

 bills, it is only an additional proof of the little importance to be at- 

 tached to the form of that member in the conirostral birds. 



Cardinalis PHCENicEus, Gould. C. ruberrimus ; capistro 

 tenuissimo nigricante ; caudd rotundatd; rostro robustissimo
