 This is a very rare Shrike. There is no date on the label, 

 but Sir Evan James visited Tsi-tsi-ha on Sept. 20-23, 188G.

Some of the specimens of L. cristatus in the British 

 Museum, and one or two of my Manchurian skins, have the 

 grey on the forehead more pronounced than their fellows, 

 and these might almost be said to intergrade with certain 

 examples of L. lucionensis. With the abrasion of the 

 ])lumage, L. cristatus certainly becomes greyer and more 

 like L. lucionensis.

These two specimens are in very worn plumage, but 

 I think that they may safely be referred to the present 

 species.
