the eyes and extending from the base of the bill to beyond 

 the cheeks, pure white. Bill and feet black. Wing 5^ inches ; 

 tail 5-^. Immature birds have the grey tint more or less sordid, 

 and the white facial patcli indistinct. 



This well-characterized species of Drongo has hitherto been 

 mistaken for the Dicrurus leucojyhceus, Yieill. ; but, as Vieillot's 

 title was founded on Levaillant's 170th plate (Ois. d'Afr.), it 

 must be referred to D. clneraceus^ Horsf., over which designa- 

 tion it takes precedence. The v)hitpfa,ced Drongo inhabits 

 Malacca, Cambodja, China, and Japan, being probably only 

 a migrant to the two latter countries. The above description 

 is taken from a Nagasaki example. 



Buchanga unoulioti^ n. sp. 



Belongs to the "Ashy Drongos" (P. Z. S. 1866, p. 546), and 

 was obtained by M. Mouhot in Cambodja. Above asliy grey 

 or plumbeous, rather darker than in B. leticophrea., ex Java. 

 Under surface lighter ashy, but darker than in the Javan spe- 

 cies. Upper surface of middle rectrices grey, as in the Javan 

 bird. Wing 5f inches ; outer tail-featliers 6~, middle tail- 

 feathers 5f ; difference betAveen outer and middle pairs 1|- ; bill 

 from nostril full -f- of an incli. 



A species intermediate in dimensions and colouring between 

 B. leucophiea and B. ])yrrhops ^ Hodgs. 



Buchanga ivaUacei^ n. sp. 



Above dark ashy green, with a silky gloss. Underneath 

 a shade lighter, but without any gloss, except on the breast. 

 Upper surface of rectrices glossy greenish brown ; no traces of 

 ash-colour. Bifurcation of the tail moderate. Wing 5 inches 

 to 5^ ; outer tail-feathers 5 inches, middle pair 4 inches. 



Described from specimens obtained in Lombock by Mr. 

 Wallace.
