Text Appearing Before Image:
that many of the males of this speciesreach our Middle Districts in a spotted dress, and soon after acquire theirfull colours; and I am disposed to think that in the autumnal months, theyoung males of the year become of a much purer tint than that of the youngor old females. The latter themselves improve materially in this respect asthey advance in age, and I have some nearly twice as richly coloured asbirds only a year old. The same observations apply to our Summer Red-bird, Tanagra sestiva, of which I have females, procured by my valuedfriend Edward Harris, Esq., exhibiting tints nearly as bright as those oftheir mates obtained at the same time, when they had nests. In the ScarletTanager it is remarkable, moreover, that some males acquire a beautiful trans-verse band of glowing red on the smaller wing-coverts; and I have severalspecimens in this state, presented to me by Mr. Harris and Dr. Trudeau. The Scarlet Tanager proceeds as far northward as Lake Huron, where it ^°42. PI 209.
