 greenish-grey varieties of those of Motacilla flava, but are 

 larger, measuring from 081 by 060 to 0*84 by 060 inch. 



(The nest was well hidden in a hollow in a meadow near the 

 river-bank, and was constructed of grass and wool, and lined 

 with hair. The bird's stomach contained insects. The bird 

 is not very common. The iris is grey. Local name Ani 

 Kegah or Ani-ckepta, at Lhasa Si-chi-pi-chi.)

 1905. They are pale buffy white with pale brown markings 

 chiefly massed round the larger end, and measure from 095 

 by 072 to 096 by - 73 inch. In general appearance they 

 closely resemble those of Lanius raddii (figured ' Ibis,' 1905, 

 pi. xi. figs. 1 & 2) , but are larger. 



(The nest was constructed of sticks, roots, and wool, and 

 lined with fine grass-roots ; it was placed in the top of a 

 youug sapling, but this Shrike also builds in low bushes five 

 or six feet from the ground. It was often seen on the 

 topmost twig of a small tree uttering its hoarse call of dre, 

 dre, dre, dre; whence it is locally named Dre-Dre.)
