Carpodacus purpureus.
Albinism and Melanism in North
American Birds. Ruthven Deane.
Mr. George A. Boardman has in his fine collection, in which so
many albino birds are represented, a pure white Purple Finch ; and
through the kindness of Mr. H. Herrick of New York I have in my
collection a dull cream-colored bird of this species which he shot
at Umbagog Lake, Me., some years ago.
Bull. N.O.C. 4, Jan., 1879, p.23
