The two outer tailfeathers are not elongated, 
Mr. Jacobson has frequently observed, that these birds 
are flying over fields of alang-alang, when these are set 
on fire, often through the thick smoke, singly with the 
intention to catch insects, especially grass-hoppers, which 
are started by the flames.

I use the name given by Gmelin to this species, as 
Linnaeus in 1771 in his Mantissa Plantarum (p. 524) men-. 
tioned the bird under the abbreviated name of Lanius leu- 
coryn. There is for me no doubt, that Gmelin’s name, based 
upon Brisson’s Lanius manillensis, Ornith. II, 1760, p. 180, 
pl. 18, f. 2, must be applied to the present species.
