The former of these shrikes is presumably only a eer but 
the latter is resident and breeds, for General R. Betham took many 
of its eggs and nests when stationed at Quetta.

Hartert has recently written a long article on the races of 
Sturnus vulgaris (Novitates Zoologicae XXV, p. 327) but gives no key 
and in some cases does not even say how they can be discriminated. 
The deep colour of No. 25472, its almost black white-edged under 
wing-coverts and deep red wings satisfy me that this specimen 
must be referred to Hume’s nobilior. The other two birds are cer- 
tainly both poltaratskit with which menzbiert is now generally 
placed as a synonym.
