" This, though occasionally found in the more wooded parts of the 
country in the Carnatic, is only at all common in the neighbourhood 
of the jungles of the west coast, and is very abundant on the top of 
tlie Neilgherries. Erequents low bushy ground, or open spaces in 
the jungle, and has similar manners and food to others of the genus."

" This handsome little Shrike is the most abundant of the Indian 
species, and is tolerably common in every part except the west 
coast. It frequents gardens, hedges, and cultivated ground, but 
chiefly delights in low, thorny, but open jungle. Feeds on locusts, 
grasshoppers, and also on small birds." — (Jerd., Madr. Journ. L. S. 
X. p. 235.)
