The Artamidse, or Swallow-shrikes, are a curious group of
birds, ranging over the greater part of the Oriental and Austra-
lian regions as far east as the Fiji Islands and south to Tasmania.
Only a single species inhabits India, and they are more plentiful
in Australia than in any other locality. The only well-marked
genus is Artamus.
There are a few Madagascar birds belonging to the genus
Artamia, which some ornithologists place in this family, others
with the Laniidse, but which are here classed with the Oriolidse.
