THIS fpecies appears in Great Britain near 

 twenty days before the martin, or any o- 

 ther of the fwallow tribe. They leave us the latter 

 end of September ', and for a few days previous to

 houfe tops, churches, and even trees, from whence 

 they take their flight. It is now known that 

 fwallows take their winter quarters in Senegal^ and 

 poffibly they may be found along the whole Mo- 

 rocco fliore. We are indebted to M. Adanfon * for 

 this difcovery, who firft obferved them in the
