The Pope Grosbeak of the Arctic Zoology is 

 apparently a variety of this bird > it is of the same 

 size, but differs in markings from the above : the 

 head as far as the crown, the cheeks, and throat 

 are of a fine red, ending in a point on the fore-part 

 of the neck : hind head, back of the neck, and all 

 the under parts white, with a black stripe running 

 down the back of the neck : back, scapulars, and 

 rump greyish ; some of the feathers of the former 

 margined with black : quills black, with white 

 edges; secondaries partly tipped with the latter 

 colour : wing-coverts black, with a white fascia on 

 the larger ones : tail similar to the wings : legs 

 and claws grey-brown : female with the forehead 

 orange-yellow, dotted with red, in other respects 

 similar to the male. 



Inhabits Brasil and many parts of North Ame- 

 rica.
