WEEBONG SHRIKE. 



Lanius Weebong. L, suboUvaceo^fusciis, capite tumido subcris' 



tato nigra, suhtus flavicans, cauda suhcuneata.

 species, viz. the Lanius sulphuratus of Linnaeus, it 

 became necessary to give a new title. I have 

 therefore called the bird by its native name 

 IF belong.

 que nigris, later ibus vittis duabus albis. Lath, ind, orn, svppl.

 Red-Backed Shrike^ and seems much allied to the
