An Albino Black-chinned Hummingbird
Albino hummingbirds are of comparatively rare occurrence, and it seems, therefore, worthwhile to put on record an individual Archizochus alexandri of this character. It was taken at the ranch of Mr. Howard Lacey, on Turtle Creek, a few miles southwest of Kerrville, Texas, by Mr. Shirley Coppock, on July 20, 1913, and was presented to the Biological Survey collection, in which it is no. 241043, U. S. Nat. Mus. It is an adult female and is entirely pure white without a dark feather anywhere.
