Hut in adult full dress it is as distinct as it is from B. atra, with which, however, it was also for long confounded. By some B. leucopluca, B. intermedia, and B. pyrrhops might be considered as constituting one species, but no author who had studied the subject would unite them with B. longi¬ caudata. The D. cineraceus, Horsf., apud Blyth (J. A. S. B. 1846, p. 299), and there described by Hr. Blyth from a Malaccan specimen presented by me to the Calcutta Museum, was an example of B. leucogenys, in the young plumage before the pure white cheeks are developed, and in which phase of plumage it may be easily mistaken for B. leucoplicea. It ranges from Malacca through Siam, Camboja, and China, to Japan. It is not unlikely that it, as well as B. longicaudata, may be found to occur in Tenasserim.
