Very common at Gyantse and Lhasa, and in the Brahma- 

 poutra Valley during the summer. A few specimens were 

 obtained at Khamba Jong up to the middle of October. 

 This was the only Shrike seen in Tibet. The Tibetan name 

 is " Jo-nak." 



This species has been recently described and figured under 

 the name Lanius lama by Mr. Dresser in the ( Proceedings 

 of the Zoological Society/ 1905, vol. i. p. 55, pi. v. fig. 1. 

 I have a good series of specimens of all ages, and there is 

 no doubt that the bird is L. tephronotus (Vigors).

This Stonechat was fairly common at Khamba Jong up to 

 the middle of October. I saw a few at Gyantse in April, 

 and between that town and Lhasa in July. Again, in the 

 middle of September, some individuals passed through Lhasa, 

 but they were not at all numerous there. 



The Tibetan birds are somewhat larger, with a longer wing, 

 than most of the Indian and Chinese specimens with which 

 I have compared them, but agree perfectly with them in 

 plumage.
