roaches and other insert food from the hand, and soon got very tame". 
Mr Davison, who remarks that its powers of imitation are perfectly marvel¬ 
lous, writes, "I have heard it take off Garrulax Belanger! so that I am sure 
the birds themselves would not have detected the imposture. These Baobling 
Thrushes, by the way, always associate with other kindred species in large 
flocks; and hunt straight on end through the forest, and you will invariably 
find two or more of the Drongos following or accompanying each such flock 11 . 
It is also noteworthy that this bird always sweeps down from its percn at 
its prey; I never saw it fly up at it, although it generally mounts again 
with the impetus imparted by its firs^ onset. 
NIDIFICATION 
Concerning the nidlfication of this species, I regret to say I am unable 
to give any information.
