Hirundo neoxena carteri. 



Western Welcome Swallows were not commonly observed 

 (except those at Dirk Hartog Island in May 191G, as 

 already recorded in ' Ibis,' October 1917) until 1 April, 1919, 

 when there were great numbers perched on the telegraph- 

 wires near Busselton, and more of them in the town itself. 

 A few were seen at Lake Muir on 17 March, and a good 

 many on the telephone-wires between Augusta and Cape 

 Leeuwin, 4 April, 1919, and also in the same position at 

 Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse on 11 April.

Western Black-and-White Swallows are not commonly 

 seen in the south-west, but are always fairly plentiful about 

 Carnarvon, where colonies of them breed in the perpen- 

 dicular banks of the Gascoyne River about September ;
