Vertical range. Occurs on passage and in winter in dis- 
tricts 1 and 2. 
Dr. Severtzoff now informs me that the species he included 
under the name of Lanius excubitor is not that bird, as the 
true L.-excubitor does not occur in Turkestan ; but he has not 
determined which species it really is, and I am therefore com- 
pelled to give it, and Nos. 217-220, under the titles used by 
him. I may, however, add that he informed me that his 
Lanius leucopterus (No. 217) is, he believes, identical with 
Lanius homeyeri, Cab.
