LUZONIANSH, 



Var. t ENGTH eight inches. Bill black: through the eyes a 



DiscRiPTioH. black ftreak: crown of the head, and upper part of the neck 



and body, afh-colour, verging to tawny on the back : breaft and 

 belly white : wings black, crofled with tawny : on the prime 

 quills a white fpot : tall black, tipped with chefnut : legs 

 blackifli. 

 PtAce. Inhabits India. It feems much allied both to my chefnut- 



backed Shrike, N° 3, and the Luzonian above mentioned -, but 

 from the fize it moft approaches the latter ; infomuch as to apo- 

 logize for my placing it as a variety of that fpecies.— Defcribecf 

 from the drawings of Lady Im;pey.
