An Albino Robin.— In a flock of about twenty Robins an albino Robm 

 was seen in "30 Acres," Roslindale, Mass., September 22, 1910 Two 

 days later, I saw this bird twice, feeding on Rowan berries which grew 

 on an ornamental tree opposite my home. This time the breast of the 

 Robin was turned towards me. The Ught being perfect, 1 felt myself 

 fortunate. The body was pure white with the exception of a few dusky 

 feathers on the back. A perfect "robin-red-breast" red crescent showed 

 on the upper breast similar to the black one of our Northern Fhcker. 

 A few red feathers were sprinkled over the lower underparts. The wmgs 

 were largely dusky, as were the central tail feathers, the outer ones bemg 

 pure white. He looked much larger than the average Robin both m flight 

 and when perched. This was undoubtedly an illusion due to color.—
