LANIARIUS LUEHDERI 301 
collected a series at several localities along the valley of the 
Juba River, also in western Somaliland. 
The last named states that this Shrike lives in thick 
underwood which it seldom leaves, and that it is often seen 
‘perched on a bare twig on the look-out for insects on the 
ground, on which it pounces; the cry of one sex is “terra” 
answered by “ktid” from the other. He found two nests 
in the land of the “Garre Liwin” on May 8 and 12 
respectively ; they were placed low down in a bush, and 
were slenderly constructed of rootlets and grass-stems. 
The eges, two and three in number, were dirty green 
and rather rough, spotted with clay-brown, especially at the 
larger end; they measured about 0°99 X O°6. 
The British Museum contains only the type, and Mr. 
Gillett’s specimen already alluded to. 
The Red-naped Bush-Shrikes of southern Somaliland are 
distinguished subspecifically by Erlanger from those of the 
western districts. The type was procured by the describer 
at Kismayu near the mouth of the Juba River.
