much resembles our E. vittatus, especially in having the white 

 superciliary streak, which runs to the occiput ; but from the 

 delineation of the beak it would appear to be a true Spheniscus, 

 showing the base of the maxilla grooved_, and the tip of the 

 mandible truncated. Vieillot unfortunately does not mention 

 the origin of the specimen ; but as it was drawn from nature by 

 Oudart, the specimen will still probably be found in the gal- 

 leries of the Paris Museum.

 Sides of the head, throat, and whole under surface jet-black. 

 A thin interrupted yellow line from the bill, over the eye, and

 being paid to the jet-black coloration of its under surface.

42. Lord Walden^s Shrike. Lanius magnirostris, Less. 



I before noted how we found this Malacca species a nume- 

 rous visitor in summer to the places in Central China on the 

 Yangtsze (P. Z. S. 1870, p. 131). I did not know at the time 

 that it is also a visitor to the north, as I never detected it
