The author comes to a conclusion differing from that announced in his 
former paper (Zool. Becord, ii. p. 109). Each of the islands has its peculiar 
species of the genus. That of Mauritius O. ferrugineus, Q. & G. (nec Lanins 
ferrugineus, Gmel.), is on the whole larger than the other, and the male is 
above of a dark smoke-grey, but the female is always bright ferruginous be- 
neath. IntheB(5unionspecies,towhichthe authorappliesthe name 0.nctvto7u) 
the male is above of a clear bluish-grey, and the female white, slightly tinged 
with ochre beneath, and barred thickly with dark brown on the sides. Both 
sexes of each species are figured, as well as the young of O. feiTugineus, for 
which last an editorial note suggests that Swainson’s name O. riifiventcr 
be adopted, if that commonly in use be not admissible.
