LANIID^. 



CoUurio borealis Baird. — Butcher Bird. Great North- 

 ern Shrike. Regular winter resident, but not very com- 

 mon south of Maine. None have been known to breed. 



No. 468, $. Lynn, Essex Co. S. Jillson, Dec., 1855.

 No. 470, ?. Lynn, " " S. Jillson, Winter, 1855. 



Oollurio excubitoroides Baird. — White-rumped Shrike. 

 Of very doubtful occurrence. {Emm., p. 3; Peab., p. 

 292 ; apparently upon the authority of Nuttall (Man. ii, 

 p. 564), who may have been mistaken. Not given in 

 more recent lists.) New England is beyond its ordinary 

 range. Still the species is found at Hamilton, Canada 

 West ("Summer resident ; not very rare." ilfc/Z., p. 87) , 

 and very likely may occasionally occur. 



No. 1170, Hamilton, Canada West, T. Mcllwraith, 1866. 



Mr. Putnam gives O. Ludovicianus in the appendix of 

 his list, misquoting it for ^^excubitoroides," and giving the 

 authority of the above-mentioned writers for its insertion. 

 Ludovicianus is entirely a southern species, and I know 

 of no authentic instance of its straggling into New Eng- 

 land. I never found it as far north even as Washington, 

 D. C. Mr. Linsley, however, gives it under the name of 

 "Lanius Carolinensis," but upon merely ppinionative 

 data. 



VIREONID^. 



Vireo olivaceus Vieill. — Red-eyed Vireo. Abundant 

 summer resident. 



No. 471, i. Essex Co. S. Jillson, March, 1855. 



Vireo gilvus Bon. — Warbling Vireo. Common sum- 

 mer resident. 



Vireo JPhiladelphicus Cass. — Brotherly Love Vireo.* 



* As this species has not yet been christened in the vernacular, I beg 

 leave of Mr. Cassin to bestow upon it the abpve literal translation of 

 its classical appellation.
