on account of the draggled state of the plumage was on the 

 point of throwing away. This specimen has been identified 

 by Mr. R. B. Sharpe with Hirundo javanica of Scopoli. The 

 ferruginous colouring of the throat comes lower down than 

 in H. rustica ; and the black pectoral band is reduced in front 

 to a narrow line ; while the underparts are white, with a faint 

 tinge of rufous. Length of wing 4*3. 



84. Hirundo ruficeps. 

 Common.

I shot two out of a small party of these Swallows tlying 

 about the rocky bed of a river near the town of Dhrole ; and 

 on another occasion, when lying out on the shores of the Gulf 

 of Kuchh waiting for Waders, a single bird of this species 

 flew round close to me. I have not noticed it on any other oc- 

 casion. Length of wing 3*5.

Occasionally met with. A pair built their nest against the 

 rafters of the veranda of my house in Rajkote. Length of 

 wing 4*1.
