Five examples from Perak differ constantly from the large series of 
Bhringa from North India, etc., in having the web on the terminal part of 
the lengthened outer tail-feathers much narrower, 0*5 inch or less in width. 
The racket-shaped end is greatly lengthened, and extends much further down 
the shaft, tapering off gradually towards the base, instead of terminating

and should no doubt include the birds from Perak ; the northern examples 
standing as B. tectiroslris , Hodgs.
