There can be no doubt that this Swift is entirely new ; for I 

 have compared it with the types of C. sabiniisLud C. cassini in the 

 British Museum. It is obviously distinct from the former, and 

 from the latter it may be distinguished by the browner upper 

 surface and the longer tail. But the more striking diflferences 

 are the colour of the throat, which has not shaft-stripes, all the 

 feathers being margined viith brown, and the extent of white 

 on the breast, this being confined to a narrow bar across the 

 lower part of the abdomen. 



The type-specimen was shot by Mr. Ussher himself at Fort 

 Victoria, Cape-Coast Castle.
