29 " Iris deep yellow ; maxilla brown, mandible pale fleshy ; 

 feet pale fleshy". Total length, 122, 110. Wing, 46, 47 mm.

 Phyllojmeuste borealis, Blasius, Naumannia, 1858, p. 313 (Ochotsk 



Sea). 

 19. "Iris dark brown, bill above brownish black, below 

 yellow, legs brownish." Total length, 120. Wing, 64 mm. 



Though one might have expected from the locality that this 

 Willow-Warbler would prove to belong to the Chinese form, P. b. 

 xantJiodryas. (Swinh., P. Z. S., 1863, p. 296), the very small first 

 primary shows that it must be referred to the typical race. 



-4* 15. Dicrurus annectens. 



Buchanga annectens Hodgson, Ind. Rev., I, 1837, p. 326 (Nepal). 



1 6. "Iris reddish brown, bill and feet black." Total 

 length, 275. Wing, 147. Tail, 135. Bill, breadth at nostrils 10 : 

 height at chin, 11 mm. 



An undoubted example of the Crow-billed, and not of the 

 Black, Drongo as one would perhaps have expected. The specimen 

 is in immature plumage, considerably spotted with white on the 

 abdomen, under wing- and under tail-coverts.

 black." Wing, 6 154, 157, 159, 166; 9 153, 155, 159, 161, 

 161, 165 man. 



The wing lengths of these birds are about the same as in D. 

 p. paradiseus of Central Siam, but the crests are much smaller and 

 much less laterally compressed and curved, though more bush)'. Pulo 

 Condore birds and birds of Cochin-China are not to be distinguished 

 from D. p. malayensis to which we accord a range in the Malay 

 Peninsula from the Dindings to Mergui. The Continental Paradise- 

 Drongos are much affected by latitude, and their crests increase in 

 size as they go northwards. D. p. platurws, of the southern part of
