[The Eastern Fiskal Shrike was seen on old thorn-bushes 

 in Somaliland and is a bold fearless bird, very handsome by 

 reason of the contrast of its black and pure white plumage. 

 It is generally met with singly or in pairs, and may often be 

 seen catching its prey on the wing, especially on the maritime 

 plain, where it is common. — A. E. P.]

The birds obtained by Mr. Pease are the true P. cristatus 

 Riipp. The broad white bar down the wing, formed by 

 the median and greater coverts and the outer webs of the 

 middle secondaries, which is so strongly marked in P. jmlio- 

 cephalus, is barely indicated by the narrow Avhite margins to 

 the outer webs of the secondaries. The specimens of this 

 bird prove a welcome addition to our Collection.
