 LOUISANA TANAGER. 



Tan AGRA LUDOVICIANA, WiLS. 

 PLATE CCCC. Fig 3. Female. 



Two figures of the male of this species you have seen in Plate 

 CCCLIV, since the publication of which I have received a fine speci- 

 men of the female, accompanied by a note from Dr Tovvnsend, in 

 which he says that " this handsome bird is called Ik hok hoot by the 

 Chinook Indians. It is rare on the banks of the Platte, but rather 

 common in the woods and oak groves of the Columbia. None were 

 seen after leaving the Black Hills, until we reached the lower country. 

 Its voice is generally harsh, being a low and guttural churr, but it at 

 times sings with considerable spirit. The female is very silent and 

 retired in her habits, and is therefore seldom seen." 



The Female here represented has already been described at p. 387 

 of vol. iv. * 



TOWNSEND'S BUNTING. 



Emberiza Townsendi. 



PLATE CCCC. Fig. 4. 



Of this species only a single specimen has yet been found, which 

 was lent to me by Dr Townsend to be figured and described. No- 

 thing is known of its habits. You will find a description of this bird 

 at p. 183 of vol. ii.
