Bulawayo , Southern Rhodesia. 
It is almost impossible to distinguish between this and 
the succeeding species in the wild state; but individuals 
belonging to one of them, or perhaps both, may often be seen 
perched on the telegraph-wires or on the tops of bushes. 
106. Lanius collaris. 
Lanius collaris Stark & Scl. Birds S. Afr. ii. p. 6. 
Not uncommon. The stomach of one contained a number 
of large spiders. 
107. Lanius collurio. 
Lanius collurio Stark & Scl. Birds S. Afr. ii. p. 11. 
“ Ukonchalakoncha."” 
Extremely common from November to March. Generally 
seen perched in a very conspicuous position on a thorn-bush. 
I saw a nest of this species near Bulawayo on January 29th. 
It was built in a thorn-tree about 4 feet from the ground 
and contained three white eggs with small black markings.

Uncommon. 
110. Laniarius atrococcineus. 
Laniarius atrococcineus Stark & Scl. Birds S. Afr. ii. p. 31. 
Not uncommon, but shy and seldom seen. Its bright red 
underparts render it a very conspicuous object in the bush. 
Occasionally it descends to the ground to feed : one was 
shot while feeding among thick grass on the ground, and in 
its stomach were found ants, beetles, and caterpillars.
