Melanism is exemplified by a handsome specimen of the Meadow Lark 
( Sturne.Ua magna ) from New Jersey. The upper plumage is of the 
normal color, while the whole head, neck, and under parts are perfectly 
black. There is the faintest possible trace of yellow along the sides, and 
no white feathers in the tail, which is very dark above and below. — Chas.
