8. Collurio ludovicianus var. excubitoroides. White-humped 
Shrike. — A typical example of this variety was shot by Mr. Jencks in 
Cranston, R. I., September 2, 1873, and is now in his collection. Its pre- 
vious record of having been found within our borders is somewhat doubt- 
ful. I believe it is hardly found regularly much east of Buffalo, N. Y. 
In this connection I would say that the Collurio taken in Massachusetts, 
recorded by me in the “American Naturalist” (Vol. VII, 1873, p. 115), 
was a typical “ Loggerhead ” Shrike (C. ludovicianus).
