most arid spots. This is a considerable extension of the 

 known ranoe of this species in N.W. India, as I liave

 district, nowhere absent and nowhere abundant.

A winter visitor in small numbers, and apparently also a 

 spring and autumn passage migrant ; it firs-t ap[;ears in 

 September (earliest dates 13 September, 1918, and 10 

 September, 1919), and ma}^ be met with until the end of

Hirundo rustica rustica L. 



Tlie appearances of the Swallow in the district are some- 

 what erratic, and it is ditticult clearly to understand their 

 status. A number are to be seen about the riverain in 

 August and September (earliest dates 8 August, 1918, and 

 19 August, 1919), and these are doubtless passage migrants
