Family HIRUNDINIDA—Swallows. 
*24. Hypurolepsis javanica (Sparrm.),? subsp. The 
(2? Malay) House-Swallow. 
Hirundo javanica (part.), Faun. Brit. India, Birds, ii (1890), p. 279. 
2d. Koh Si Chang and Koh Phai, Inner Gulf of Siam, 
May 1918. 
22. Koh Phra, Inner Gulf of Siam, May 1918. 
Males. “T.L. 184,117 mm. W. 106, 105. 
Females. T. L. 130,130 mm. W. 104, 98. 
Iris dark brown. Bill black. Legs dark purplish brown. 
Claws black. 
These specimens were obtained during a short trip down the 
Gulf, which I made mainly for the purpose of settling the identity of 
the Swallows which I knew were breeding on one or more of the islands 
down there. [had previously had eggs sent to me from Koh Phai, in 
June 1917, and from Koh Phra, in March and April 1918, and on this 
trip I obtained a clutch of four from the latter island—the nest being 
in a small cave on the rocky shore. Ihave no doubt that the eggs 
belonged to this species. The spécimen shot on Koh Phai was flying 
about in company with Hirundo rustica gutturalis (The Eastern Swal- 
all females——but I found no 
low), of which I obtained three examples 
nests there, although it was from this island that ] had obtained a 
clutch the previous year,a month later. At Koh Si Chang and Koh 
Phai I only observed Hypurolepsis javanica. When at close quarters, 
on the wing, it is easily distinguished from Hirundo r. gutturalis by 
its ashy, instead of white or pale chestnut, abdomen.
