“ This Shrike,” Dr. Scully writes, “ was tolerably common near Kashghar ana ‘ p 
in winter ; it was never seen in spring or summer, as it bad then migrated north war - r 
chiefly affects bare places with a few trees scattered about, but is occasionally seeU p. e es, 
villages. Near Kizil in January I saw some of these Shrikes perched on small leafl ebS ^ 
sitting very motionless and apparently not alarmed when one approached them even P ^ 
closely. This Shrike was occasionally trained to capture small birds, such as Spm'ioW,^ 
... It is the winter Shrike of Kashgharia, as Lanius arenarius is the summer one. 
Turki name for the species is ‘ Ala ghurulai,’ the Variegated Shrike.”
