216 BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 



with this, of Blyth's name also ; but I had considered, judging 1 

 from pi. 170 of Le Vailliant's Oiseaux d' Afrique, that leucophaea, 

 Vieill., founded on this plate,* was identical with cineracea, Hors- 

 field. 



Anyhow it will tend to explain what I have said above to 

 state that Le Vailliant's plate above referred to represents by no 

 means badly as Le Vailliant's plates go, the species that I have 

 above identified as leucophaa, Vieill., cineracea of Horsfield. It 

 wants the dark lores, but the general colour and shape of tail are 

 tolerably close ; quite as much so as his representations usually 

 are. 



280 bis.— Buchanga pyrrhops, Hodgs. (Typical, 8, 

 non-typical, 8.) 



Kollidoo ; Pahpoon ; Wimpong ; Monlmein ; Pabyouk ; Yea-boo ; Assoon ; 

 Amherst ; Yea ; Malewoon. 



Occurs, though nowhere very abundant, throughout the pro- 

 vince. 



I have already dealt with this sub-species when treating of 

 longicaudata. 



280 ter.— Buchanga leucophaea, Vieill. (14). 



Kollidoo ; Kyouk-nyat ; Pahpoon ; Thatone ; Tenasserim Town ; Malewoon. 



Occurs but very sparingly throughout the province. 



This species also I have fully discussed under longicaudata. 



280 quat.— Buchanga leucogenys, Wald. (36). Juv. 

 Descb. S. P., II., 210. 



Mergui ; Patoe Is. ; Tenasserim Town ; Bopyin ; Pakchan ; Palaw-tou-ton ; 

 Bankasoon ; Malewoon. 



Confined to the southernmost district of the Province, but 

 there most abundant. 



[I first met with this species on the Island of Mergui, and 

 both there and thence to the southern limit of our territory I 

 found it very abundant. 



This is much more of a forest species than any of the other 

 King Crows, but it also occurs in clearings, and occasionally in 

 gardens. 



Its note and habits are much the same as that of the other 

 species, and like them it is fond of perching on the top of some 



* No doubt, Le Vailliant says, Le Drongri is from Ceylon, but then he gives the 

 very next species, Drongri a ventre Blanc, as from Java, and as Sundeval points 

 out this is not impossibly from Ceylon, and the localities of the two may have 

 been transposed. This latter species, however, is not the young of leucopygialis, 

 which has less white, Hr.ldsworth says, than the adult ; but it may be the young 

 of ccsrulescens, incorrectly represented.
