The eges of the Bronzed Drongo are of a regular oval form, some- 
times rather pointed at the small end, and have but little gloss. 
The ground varies from a pinkish-fawn colour to a salmon-pink, 
marked, chiefly in a zone round the large end, with specks and 
clouds of pale pinkish-brown, inclining to purple. The specimens 
in the Collection are remarkably uniiorm in colour and markings. 
They measure from °76 to -88 in length, and from ‘6 to 64 in 
breadth.
