1 1 6 LANIID.*;. 



The British-Museum collection does not possess young birds of 

 this species, except one which I suppose to be a young male in .its 

 second or third year ; it is like the adult male, but still with re- 

 mains of the olive-green colour on its back, and some of the upper 

 wing-coverts are tipped with olive-yellow, forming a baud.
