The Black and Crimson Shrike was met with throughout 

 the w hole of the Kalahari, and was plentiful in Ngamiland. 

 It has a loud flute-like note, generally uttered from the middle 

 of some dense thorn-bush, and although so brightly coloured 

 it is difficult to see and still more difficult to get near.

Hartlaub's Shrike was not met with until we reached 

 Ngamiland, where it was not uncommon. It is usually to 

 be seen singly or in pairs, but sometimes in small parties. 

 It has a great variety of chattering or clicking notes, and the 

 male occasionally utters a beautiful long-drawn bell-like 

 note which can be heard at a great distance.

Iris orange ; bill black, light in female ; feet grey. 



This Shrike was not met with during our journey through 

 the Kalahari ; it has a rather striking note, which was not 

 heard until the mopaui forest north-east of the Lake was 

 reached. There individuals were not uncommon.

The sexes of the Three-streaked Bush-Shrike are generally 

 described as being alike in plumage ; but the adult male 

 appears to differ from the adult female in having the crown 

 dark ashv-brown instead of earthv-brown.
