PBCIMENfl EXAMINED 



E.f. jxitior, two from Anjouan Island. 



B. f. forficahu, thirty-three from southern and western Madagascar: 



Tullear, Reheloka, Morondava River, Berevo, Lake Tsimanampetsotsi, 



arnl Upper Siriliihina River. 



Linne* (Syst. Nat., Ed. 12, 17GG, i, p. 134) based his Lanius 

 forjiailus on Brisson's Muscicapa madagascariensis nigra major 

 art statu, which was without doubt a bird from the main island 

 of Madagascar. In separating the Anjouan form we accept 

 Linne 's original designation of Madagascar as type locality of 

 his Lanius forficatus.
