Shrike, L. bogdanowi (Bian.) Las been recorded from the B. Kirghis steppes and 

 Transcaspia. Eggs figured in Dresser, pi. — , fig. 11, 12, 16, 17; Ibis, 1905, pi. XI, 

 fig. 1 — 3. Another species which breeds in the W. Palaearctic region is the Hooded 

 Shrike, Telophonus senegalus cucuUatus (Temm.), which is found in Marocco, Algeria, 

 and Tunis. Eggs figured by Dresser, pi. — , fig. 32, 33 (not in B. M. Cat. Eggs, 

 IV, pi. XIII, fig. 10, which probably represents an egg of L. algoriensis). The eggs 

 of this genus are of quite a different type to those of Lanius, being streaked and 

 spotted with sienna and grey on a dull white ground. One egg measures 26.3 X 183 mm.]

 Con- Although Bjorkmann previously to 1842 described the eggs of this 



bird accurately, his description of its breeding habits is quite at variance 

 with the facts, so that the whole credit of the discovery of the nesting 

 of the Waxwing is due to John Wolley and his devoted assistant L. 

 M. Knobloch. Full details may be found in the Ihis, 1861, p. 92 — 106, 

 Ooth. Wolleyana, I, p. 212 — 239, so that it is unnecessary here to repeat 

 them. The first full clutch was taken on June 11, 1856 by Knobloch 

 in Kemi Lappmark, and 29 eggs were obtained during that season. In 

 1857 "Wolley himself took a deserted nest on June 16, but only five 

 nests were discovered by his collectors in spite of the utmost exertions.
