46. Lantus ludovicianus excab it oroide 3 ( Swainson ) Cones. Wiiite- 
rumped Shrike. — A rather common summer resident, in suitable 
localities, where it breeds. In a paper written nearly four years agof I 
narrated the occunence of this bird in Lewis County, and called attention 
to the fact that the specimens killed here agree more closely with the 
western ( excnbitoroides ) type than with the southern ( ludovicianus ). 
Since then they have steadily increased in numbers till now they breed 
throughout Lewis County and have extended their rang-e into all con- 
genial spots within the Adirondack wilderness. Last summer (1880) 
Walter H. Merriam found it breeding on the South Branch of Ausable 
River, in Essex County, on the eastern or Lake Champlain side of the 
mountains, while I have taken its nest, and seen others, in Lewis County, 
on the western or Black River side.
