L. similis L. bentet, sed capite nuchaque nigris pileum formanti- Bus, interscapulio et dorso superiore clare cineraceis distinguendus. Long. tot. 9, culm. 0*8, alee 3*52, cauda? 5*1, tarsi 1*05. Mr. Pryer has sent a specimen of this Shrike, which agrees with one from Sandakan already in the British Museum. These in turn agree with Philippine examples, and seem to belong to a distinct race of L. Bentet. 62. PITYRIASIS GYMNOCEPHALA (Raffl.). Pityriasis gymnocephala, Salvad. t. c. p. 159. 63. DENDROPHILA FRONTALIS (Horsf.). Dendrophilafrontalis, Salvad. t.c. p. 161. 64. PRIONOCHILUS XANTHOPYGIUS, Salvad. t. c. p. 162. 65. PRIONOCHILUS THORACICUS (Temm.).

D. simile D. nigrimento, Salvad., sed gutture toto, colli et corporis lateriBus nigris distinguendum. Long. tot. 2*9, culm. 0*4, ala 1*85, cauda? 1*0, tarsi 0*45. The first collection sent by Mr. Pryer contained a single specimen of this Dica?um : it appeared to be quite different from D. nigrimentum, which is in the collection of the British Museum. Subsequently Mr. Pryer forwarded some more adult males in his second and third consignments; and as all of these agree in having the whole of the throat black, I have no doubt that it is a good species. 51* |
