A Singular Cage Plumage of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak.— 
In a Boston bird-store I lately saw a Rose-breasted Grosbeak in very 
remarkable plumage. The whole under-parts, from the throat to the 
crissum, including the sides, were uniform deep rose, nearly as vivid as 
is the normal breast-patch. The rump also was rose-tinted and 
there was a wash of the same color along the superciliary stripe. The 
bird was evidently a male and apparently an adult, for the wings and tail 
were clear black. 
I was told that it had been kept in a cage for about six months; when 
first captured it was of the usual color, but shortly afterwards it moulted 
and the present plumage was assumed. The owner had never seen a 
similar case although he has had many of these Grosbeaks in confine- 
ment. — William Brewster. Cambridge , Mass.

specimen which I have examined, taken on Cape Cod, Mass., Sept., 1879, 
had many white feathers intermixed with the black of the head and inter- 
scapulars.
