235. Laninti htdni-lricnms excuhitorkle^. 

 White-rumped Slirike. Not knowing just 

 what position our shrikes held, I decided to 

 submit tlie question to Prof. Kidgway, and 

 sent him a small series for examination. He 

 wrote me, "None of your slirikes are typical 

 of either Indov'icianns or exnOiitnrUJex, all being 

 intermediate between the two forms"; those 

 from Minneapolis (dark), he said, were nearest 

 the formei', while some from tlie southern part 

 of the state (light) were decidedly nearer the 

 latter. Tlierefore I consider it safe to list 

 l)oth forms.

 observed this warbler is Mr. C. B. Johnson,

 lS8i). Although he did not shoot the birds he 

 watclied them some time and is sure of the 

 identity, noticing the characteristic maikings 

 on the head.
