 Red Shrike, Gen. Syn.\. 192. 



SIZE uncertain. Bill straitish, with a tooth on each side, near 

 the point ; nose naked ; tongue appearing lacerated ; the body of a 

 bright red colour, ornamented with spots like eyes on the wings and 

 tail, the ends of which are black. 



Inhabits Surinam. — From the description of Dr. Bancroft, 



111— BERBICEAN SHRIKE. 



LENGTH six inches and a half. Bill as in the Pied Shrike, 

 and black; plumage in general fine rufous, paler beneath; sides of 

 the head brown and dusky white, in perpendicular streaks; tail 

 rounded, the wings reach to about half the length of it ; the outer 

 quill is the shortest, and the third longest of all ; legs black. 



Inhabits Berbice ; in the collection of Mr. M'Leay, and called 

 Kwakwarra,* a female. I have not ventured to join this with the 

 Red Shrike, however similar it may be in colour, for there is no 

 appearance of eye spots on the wings or tail. 



112.— CHESTNUT-CROWNED SHRIKE. 



LENGTH five inches. Bill dusky, bent at the end ; crown 

 chestnut; plumage in general olive green, paler beneath; wings 



* The Pied and Lineated species are so called, which probably it a common name for 

 several kinds,
