DUSKY SHRIKE. 
Brownish ; quills of tail and wings darker, margined 
with rust colour ; head blackish ; eyebrows, throat, breast, 
and belly white ; beak and feet blackish. 
Place unknown. 
Figured from the specimen in the British Museum, 
which was described by Dr. Latham many years ago; no 
other specimen having occurred, and the bird being un- 
known to ornithologists, we cannot refrain from giving it 
a place in this work.
