* Although Mr. Ogilvie Grant, in his recent review of the genus Lanius, has not seen 

 his way to subdivide the latter into sections, 1 think that there are several natural 

 groups within its borders, which may advantageously be separated, although I admit 

 that the characters are mainly those of colour.
