Imm. Chong, Trang, N. Malay Peninsula, 7tli December. 



A migratory bird, common all over the Peninsula and the 

 outlying islands during the winter months.

The White-cheeked Drongo was abundant at most of the 

 places visited in Trang, and is possibly resident there. It 

 has been recorded from as far down the Peninsiila as 

 Malacca, but in the south it is a rare bird and probably 

 only a winter visitor. 



The variety sa/angensis described by Reichenow from the 

 island of Salanga — or Tongkah, as it is more usually called 

 — to the north of Trang, as having the sides of the face 

 ashy and not white, is obviously based on an immature 

 specimen. An adult from Salanga in the British Museum 

 agrees in every respect with the typical specimens from 

 Tenasserim and the mainland of the Peninsula.

Fairly abundant at all our collecting-stations in Trang in 

 December and January. The species is not resident in the 

 Peninsula, only occurring during the winter months, and 

 has not as yet been met with further south than Malacca.
