K. Muller, J. f. 0. 1868, pp. 178-182, Figured, as also L. minor (Zool. Re- 
cord, iv. p. 98). J. Gould, B. Gr. Br, pt. xiii. 
Lanius cephalomdas^ Bp. (R. Z. 1863, p. 436), is Z. nasutus, Scop. (F. & F, 
Insilb. 1786, ii. p, 85), and Z. Mitiguanus, Ginel. (S. N. 1788, 1. p. 801), be-,

Lanius Jeracopis, De Filippi (Mus. Mediol. p. 31) (Bp. R. Z. 1853, p. 437),

pallidirostrisj Cass. (Proc. Acad. Philad. 1851, p. 244), but is perhaps L.paU 
lens, Cass. {loc. cit.) ; on the other hand, Z. dealhatus, Bp. (R. Z. 1863, p. 294) 
{hec De Fil.), and probably Z. pallidus (Zool. Record, i. p. 78, iv. p. 98), are 
to be referred to Z. pallidh-ostris. Id. tom. cit. pp. 277-279.

* We have to thank Dr, Ilartlaub (Bericht u. s. w. p. lOO) for pointing Out 
a mistake which occurred in our last Record. The name “Edoliid.® ’

which it is followca transferred to the opposite page. Under DicrUiiidas.”
