184. Lanius collaris, (Fiscal Shrike.) 

 (a) ? . 19.10.06. Swazieland. Iris brown. 

 Common. Generally to be seen perched on a prominent 

 branch or on the top of a fencing pole. On one occasion 

 I saw two frogs impaled on a barbed-wire fence, doubtless 

 by this bird. 



191. Telephonus senegalus. (Black -headed Bush - 

 Shrike.) 



{a) S ' 30.7.06. Indhlovudwalilie. In stomach insects. 



Fairly common ; it is not entirely confined to the thick 

 bush. I have frequently seen it in mimosa-trees in fairly 

 open country ; they always make for the thickest part of the 

 tree when disturbed, and in this position are very hard to see. 

 On one occasion I hit a small bush three or four times before 

 the bird flew out. 



192. Telephonus tchagra. (Tchagra.) 



(a) ($ . 30.7.06. Indhlovudwalilie. In stomach onl}' 

 seeds. 



I only saw one specimen of this Shrike, it was in some 

 thick bush only a few yards away from me when first I 

 noticed it. It did not attempt to make its escape by flight, 

 but kept hopping away from me in the thick undergrowth, 

 always keeping quite close to the ground. 



195. Dryoscopus cubla. (Lesser PufF-back Shrike.) 

 (a) unsexed. 28.7.06. Indhlovudwalilie. Iris bright red. 



In stomach insects. 



Fairly common. They seem to prefer the thick bush to 

 the lesser wooded localities. 



196. Dryoscopus rufiventris. (Greater PufF-back 

 Shrike.) 



(a) (J. 20.8.06. IndhlovudwaliUe. In stomach insects. 

 Fairly common. These noisy birds may be heard calling
