Albinism and Melanism in North 
American Birds* Ruthven Deane, 
I have recently obtained from Mr. W. H. Collins of Detroit, 
Mich., a strange-looking specimen of the Shore Lark. The under 
parts are white, the upper parts being slightly washed with a rusty 
brown. The feathers are much worn, and the bird has a sickly ap- 
pearance. r
