Under the head of Coturniculus henslowi (Vol. Ill, No. 3, p. 118), I made 
the generalization that, “ with the single exception of Chrysomitris triads, 
this is the only species of the Fringillidee, so far as I. am aware, in which 
the young in first plumage are entirely immaculate beneath.” That state- 
ment I now find must be considerably modified. At the time of writing 
it entirely escaped my notice that I had previously described a third un- 
spotted species (Pi nicol a e nucleator ), and that still a fourth, namely, 
Pyrrlmloxia sinuata, remarked upon in the same paper as in transitional 
condition, was also plain.

9, Pinicola enucleator. PtNE 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 1 7), under the name Loxia flamengo, and is introduced by Gmelin 
in his “ Linn. Syst. Nat.” (Vol. II, pt. 2, p. 864), as a species.
