I have not been able to examine the following species : — 



28. ChsBtura cochinchinensis. 

 Chffitura cochinchinensis, Oust. Bull. Sac. Philom. 1878, p. 52. 



The author states that G. cocMncMnensis is allied to C. caudacuta 

 and C. gigantea, but considerablj- smaller, with dark forehead and 

 greyish-white throat. Total length 7"1 inches, wing 7*1, tail 0'4. 



Hab. Saigon (Cochinchina). 



This form seems to be closely allied to Chatura Maesii, but 

 from their habitats it is not likely they can be the same. The 

 author has compared his specimens with C. caudacuta and C. gigan- 

 tea, but the habitats assigned to these forms show that he has 

 included in his C. caudacuta the allied C. nudipes, and in his 

 C. gigantea the allied C. indica. It therefore becomes difficult to 

 make out the nearest ally of his species. 



29. Chaetura klaesii *. 



Hirundinapus klaesii, i^w^/'/A-q/i?/-, IS^ot. Leyd. Mus. ix. p. 40 (1887). 



" Very similar to H. nudij^es, Hodgs., but considerably smaller. 

 Chin and throat, base of the feathers on occiput and hind neck, and 

 inner web of the innermost secondaries greyish smoky instead of 

 white. Entire crown, down to the base of the bill, lores, sides of 

 head and neck, occiput, hind neck, lesser wing-coverts, outer web 

 of innermost secondaries, a stripe running from the base of the 

 tibia to the rump, rump and upper tail-coverts glossy bluish green ; 

 scapularies and back smoky brown, becoming pale straw-colour 

 towards the centre of the back. Upper surface of wing and tail 



* Whilst this sheet was passing through the press, I had an opportunity of 

 examining the type in the Leiden Museum. It is similar to Ch. indica, of 

 which it may be a smaller form.
