Remarks .—The diti'erences se[)arating this new race fnan Pinicola 
enucleator leucura are much the same as those distinguishing the New¬ 
foundland Loxia curvirostra percnai from Loxia curvirostra minor, and 
the. cases are interestingly parallel. The characters of Pinicola enucleator 
eschatosus are very constant in the series examined, and they seem to 
indicate an excellent race. Individual variation is about the same as in 
the other suhs])ecies of Pinicola enucleator. An immature male in lirst 
autumn plumage (No. 202,560, U. S. N. ^f.), from Locke’s Cove, New¬ 
foundland, taken February 26, 1006, diflei’s from specimens of Pinicola 
enucleator leucura in the same stage by reason of the darker, more grayish 
shade of the ui)per surface, slightly darker lower parts, and the somewhat 
smaller size. Size is, however, not an entirely reliable character for the 
’Three specimen);, from Xewfomidlaml.
