39. Lanius validirostris, Grant, Bull. B. O. C. iii. p. xlix 

 (1894). 



Most nearly allied to L. tephronotus, but the rump and 

 u^jper tail-coverts are grey like the back instead of cinnamon- 

 rufous, the tail is much shorter in proportion, and, though this 

 is a considerably smaller bird, the bill is larger and stouter. 



Adult male. Upper parts ashy grey, rather lighter on the 

 head ; the forehead, lores, a narrow band above, and a wide 

 band below the eye^ as well as the ear-coverts, black; the 

 black forehead and superciliary stripes are edged above with 

 pale grey ; chin, throat, breast, and belly white ; flanks and 

 vent cinnamon, paler on the under tail-coverts ; thighs black. 

 Quills and tail-feathers black, the inner secondaries narrowly 

 margined, and the outer tail-feathers tipped with white. 



Adult female. Differs slightly in having the black on the 

 sides of the face paler and absent on the forehead, which 

 is whitish grey; the whitish-grey margins to the supercili- 

 aries are more marked ; the margins to the secondaries are 

 rufous-buff, and the thighs are grey.
