3. Saxicola cenanthe. Wheat-eae. — Specimens in the Museums 
at Dresden, Saxony, and Berne, Switzerland (Merrill). 
4. Sitta carolinensis. White-bellied Nuthatch. — In a com- 
munication recently received from Mr. A. K. Fisher, he informs me of an 
albino specimen of this species, which is the first I have heard occurring 
in the Sittidce. It was taken near Sing Sing, N. Y., Nov. 5, 1879. It was 
pure white, except a narrow dark stripe on the crown. 
5. Lophophanes bicolor. Tufted Titmouse. — Two specimens 
showing partial albinism are recorded in the Bulletin (Vol. IY, p. 16), by 
Mr. F. W. Langdon. 
6. Budytes flava. Yellow Wagtail. Albinism not uncommon in 
this species (Merrill). 
7. An thus pratensis. Titlark. — Specimens in the Museums at 
Antwerp, Holland, and Nice, France (Merrill). 
8. Pyranga rubra. Scarlet Tanager. — Mr. F. T. Jencks, of Prov- 
idence, R. I., has kindly sent me a specimen with the outer primary of 
one wing white, shot at Cranston, R. I., May, 1878. In a recent letter 
from Mr. F. A. Lucas of Rochester, N. Y., he mentions having seen a 
Tanager of this species with five of the tail-feathers white. 
9. Pinicola enucleator. Pine Grosbeak. — In Naumann’s “ Na- 
turgesch. der Vogel Deutschl.” (Vol. IV, p. 410), it is stated that a white 
or whitish variety has been described, but that it is of very rare occur- 
rence. He says an example is figured in' Sparrmann’s “ Mus. Carls.” 
(plate 17), under the name Loxia flamengo , and is introduced by Gmelin 
in his “ Linn. Syst. Nat.” (Vol. II, pt. 2, p. 864), as a species. 
10. Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis. Hepburn’s Gray- 
crowned Finch. — Capt. Charles Bendire sends me record of a speci- 
men, showing traces of albinism on the throat, which he shot at Camp 
Harney, Oregon, in the winter of 1876-77. 
11. iEgiothus canescens. Redpoll. — A specimen in the British 
Museum (Merrill). 
12. Pocecetes gramineus. Grass Finch. — lam indebted to Mr. 
Wm. Brewster for a specimen of this Bunting, showing white secondaries 
on both wings ; and Mr. A. K. Fisher collected a very light specimen at 
Sing Sing, N. Y., Oct. 27, 1879, which had the appearance of a white bird 
when flying. Mr. Henry Garrett of White Horse, Penn., also has a par- 
tial albino in his collection. The example of albinism in this species 
mentioned in the Bulletin (Vol. I, p. 21) proved to be another species. 
13. Passer montanus. Mountain Sparrow. — A specimen in the 
collection of the Museum at Boston, Mass. (Merrill). 
14. Calamospiza bicolor. Lark Bunting. — Dr. W r . J. Hoffmann 
states (Am. Nat., Vol. XII, p. 476) that he has noticed white feathers 
scattered indiscriminately over the neck and breast in a number of speci- 
mens secured on Heart River in Dakota Territory.
