was seen to take the young. On May 29, Mr. Beyer saw a pair 
at Greensburg, Louisiana, Lat. 30° 49’. On June 5 he shot a 
pair near Clinton, Louisiana, Lat. 30° 52’, and saw their nest in a 
pine tree. 
It will be remembered that no Shrike was observed by Mr. 
Beckham at Bayou Sara, Louisiana, but Zadovictanus was quoted 
on the authority of Mr. Wederstraudt (Bull. N. O.C., Vol. VII, 
No. 3, p. 162). Mr. O. P. Hay saw a Shrike at Jackson, Missis- 
Eippiy in) summer” (Bull. IN. (0. €:, Vol: VII, p-'91)-' I have 
shown that the birds return as early as July in Cook County, Texas, 
and this record only shows, as does Mr. Beckham’s, that no Shrike 
is common in summer in those localities. In 1886, Mr. J. T. 
Moore of Oxford, Mississippi, reported that he had taken the 
eges of both Loggerhead and White-rumped Shrike at Oxford, 
but that both were very rare. Dr. Rawlings Young of Corinth, 
Mississippi, reports no Shrikes in that locality in summer. Mr. 
J. T. Park of Rising Sun, in northwestern Georgia, wrote me 
that no Shrikes bred there; but Mr. H. B. Bailey has reported 
the breeding of Landcus ludovictanus in Wayne and McIntosh 
Counties, Georgia, which are on or near the coast. 
At Greensboro’, Alabama, Dr. Wm. C. Avery, on April 25, 
1887, took six eggs of the Loggerhead Shrike from the end of a 
limb of an old field pine, eight feet from the ground, and saw 
another nest higher up in a pine tree in the spring of 1888. 
Mr. L. M. Loomis reports the Loggerhead as a resident at 
Chester, South Carolina. 
The birds seen by Mr. Fox in Tennessee, and reported in ‘ The 
Auk,’ Vol. III, p. 317, were probably migrating White-rumps. 
I have failed to learn of any Shrike breeding in Tennessee, 
Kentucky, or Arkansas, Mr. Pindar of Hickman, Kentucky 
being the only observer to report from that State, and none from 
Tennessee, and only one from Arkansas. Mr. Goss reports from 
personal observations the White-rumped Shrikes breeding through- 
out Kansas. 
Mr. O. Widmann reports the Loggerhead as breeding at St. 
Louis, Missouri, but leaching ouf in spring and summer, and 
to the northwest of St. Louis only the White-rumps are reported 
in summer. 
From the foregoing I conclude that the A. O. U. Committee 
coirectly relegated the Loggerhead to the Gulf States, and that it
