Summers at Swatow, arriving towards the beginning of 

 April. 



One was brought to Swatow on 23rd January, 1889. I 

 was told that it had been shot on the hills. I happened to 

 be out at the time when the bird was sent to the house, and 

 did not see it, but I have no reason to believe that my in- 

 formant was mistaken.

This Drongo seems to be a resident in the Swatow district, 

 as my boy procured one during his winter trip to the interior. 

 I have noticed the birds on the plain during the summer.
