Both these forms occur together throughout the Peninsula 

 and are represented in tlie Trang collection. 



Both species are commoner during the winter months and 

 are certainly migratory, having been met with on the small 

 islands in the middle of tiie Straits of Malacca. 



Considerable variation is met with in the amount of blue 

 on the tail-feathers and on the outer webs of the secondaries, 

 which are the characters used to differentiate the two forms, 

 though E. calonyx is also slightly smaller. 



Series of both are in the Selangor Museum for every 

 month from October to March.
