*35. Collocalia esculenta (L.). 



One <?, shot on the volcano of Tambora, at 3000 feet, belongs to this species, 

 though it is rather steel-blue above. Wing 94 mm. 



This species has never been known to extend so far westwards. Timor 

 possesses a quite different species, and it is probably via Djampea and Kalao, from 

 Celebes, that this species reaches the Lesser Sunda Islands. Lombok has C. linchi.

 from Samba wa, while it is not visible in another adult bird.
