Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The mountain was 
fairly alive with these beautiful birds, and their 
merry jingling song resounded from the topmost 
branches of the beech trees. I only saw one fe- 
male and shot six males.

221. Zamelodia ludoviciana. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. — Regular 
spring migrant, fairly common May 10 to 23; Mr. Nash gives fall records 
from July 13 to the middle of August, and I took a young male on Septem- 
ber 10, 1906. 
An Abnormal Rose-breasted Grosbeak. — I have a female Zame- 
lodia ludoviciana which I took on June 7, 1894, at Sand Lake, Parry Sound 
District, Ontario, and which closely resembles one described by Mr. Robert 
Barbour (Auk, 1913, page 435). In my bird the under parts are grayish 
white, the streaks are few, narrow and confined to the sides; the breast has 
a rather faint patch of deep chrome yellow which follows in general outline 
that of the adult male; the back is much lighter than is usual in the normal 
female, the feathers being edged with gray instead of brown which brings 
i nto contrast the dark centers of both the scapular and back feathers, the 
rump and upper tail coverts are olive gray; the axillars and under wing 
coverts are normal in color but a few of the latter have rose colored 
streaks which though very fine are more pronounced than usual. The 
bird was sexed and I think correctly by the late Mr. Geo. E. Atkinson.—
