T H A V E been hitherto at a lofs for the native place o f this
^ bird. Mr. Anderfin’s papers inform me, that it is a native of
Van Diemen’3 Land. I think it not art improbable fuppofition,
that the Brown Shrike * may be the other fex of this fpecies.

the government of Cafin. It is migratory, appearing in winter
converfant about the houfes in St. Peterjburgh. It twitters like a

T N my Synopfis it has not appeared clear to me, whether the Cole-
moufi and this were different fpecies. I find it to be the opinion
o f Sepp, that they form but one, being both figured in the
fame plate, as male uadi female. In one of them is a fpot of white
on the hind head, and the fides of the head are white: the throat
black. The other has the top of the head wholly black, and the
black fpot of the throat wanting. The neft feems here compofed
o f fedge, mixed with large cat’s tail, lined with down and feathers
j furnilhed with five white eggs, mottled with red brown.
