600 MR. R. SWINHOE ON ASIATIC BIRDS. [June 23, 
dirty white ; rump and upper tail-coverts white ; tail-feathers black, 
the basal half of all, even the centre ones, pure white; across the 
forehead a broad band extending back nearly to the middle of the 
head ; loral space and ear-coverts black, this colour extending from 
the ear-coverts to the shoulder and forming a continuous black 
band ; throat, cheeks, and whole underparts pure white, bill and 
feet black. 
This bird is nearest allied to ZLanius minor, which it somewhat 
resembles from the broad black band on the forehead, but is easily 
distinguishable from that and other allied species by the long parti- 
coloured tail, which never has the outer feathers pure white, but 
invariably deeply tipped with black, and also by its black under 
wing-coverts. : 
This species, like L. pallidirostris, seems to be confined to North- 
eastern Africa. Lord Waldeu has a specimen collected by Petherick 
on the White Nile, while our description is taken from a fine speci- 
men from North-eastern Africa in Sharpe’s collection. 
5. List of Birds collected by Mr. Cuthbert Collingwood 
during a Cruise in the China and Japan Seas, with Notes. 
By R. Swinnog, F.Z.S. 
Mr. Cuthbert Collingwood, the author of the highly appreciated 
‘Rambles of a Naturalist,’ brought home from his cruise in the China 
and Japan seas a collection of birds, captured for the most part at 
sea, and submitted them to Mr. Osbert Salvin. The latter gentle- 
man placed them in my hands, and desired me to draw out a list of 
them, adding the collector’s notes and any remarks I should like to 
make. This I have done, and now offer the results to this Society. 
Mr. Collingwood’s notes and numbers are given between inverted 
commas.

For a similar occurrence of this bird at nearly the same time of 
year, see ‘ Ibis,’ 1867, p. 412.
