Diese Linien sind durch einen hellen Streifen, der auf dem Gesicht weiß ist, aber von einem gelben Ton in Richtung Thesides wird, pareseparated. Das äußere Netz der Federkiegel ist grau, aber so breit mit rötlich-braunem Rand umrandet, dass sie, wenn die Flügel geschlossen sind, fast vollständig von letzterem Farbton zu sein scheinen. Die oberen Sekundarien sind rötlich grau umrandet; die beiden mittleren Schwanzfedern sind grau, mit dunklen Streifen markiert; der Rest ist schwarz, mit Weiß umrandet, die des Äußeren haben auch einen hellen Rand zum Äußeren

These lines areseparated by a light streak, which is white upon the face, but becomes of a yellow tinge towards thesides. The outer web of the quills is grey, but is so broadly bordered with reddish brown thatwhen the wings are closed they appear to be almost entirely of the latter hue. The uppersecondaries are edged with reddish grey; the two centre tail-feathers are grey, marked with darkstripes; the rest are black, tipped with white, those of the exterior have also a light border to theouter web. The eye is reddish brown, the beak black, and the feet lead-colour, with a greenishshade. In length the Tschagra does not exceed eight inches, its breadth is ten inches, the wingmeasures three inches and the tail three and a half. It is, at present, uncertain whether the verysimilar birds inhabiting Eastern and Western Africa are identical with this species. In colour theyare closely alike, but differ somewhat in size.. is [HE RED BACKED SHRIKE lajiius cu I £A1, . USA THE SINGING BIRDS. 151 THE HELMET SHRIKE.The Helmet Shrike (Prionop poliocephalus or Prionops cristatus) is easily recognisable by theremarkable plume, composed of stiff, hairy feathers, with which the head is decorated.

The eyelids are brightly coloured, and in texture similar to the cere with which ourreaders have become familiar in the Raptores. The wings, in which the third quill exceeds the restin length, although of considerable size, do not cover more than a third of the very long and roundedtail; the tarsi are short, and the toes long. The plumage is soft, thick, and very simply coloured;the mantle-quills and a large portion of the tail are black; the crest, head, nape, and entire
