184 Mr. H. E. Dresser's Notes on 



Vertical range. Occurs on passage and in winter in dis- 

 tricts 1 and 2. 



Dr. SevertzofF now informs me that the species he included 

 under the name of Laiiius excubitor is not that bird, as the 

 true L. excubitor does not occur in Turkestan ; but he has not 

 determined which species it really is, and I am therefore com- 

 pelled to give it, and Nos. 217-220, under the titles used by 

 him. I may, however, add that he informed me that his 

 Lanius leucopterus (No. 217) is, he believes, identical with 

 Lanius homeyeri, Cab.
