The Wire-tailed Swallow was found at Gofa, Uba, 

 Baroda and Walamo between June and September. An 

 immature female with the head brown tinged with rufous 

 above the eye and on the occiput, and with the iipperparts 

 sparingly glossed with dark greenish-blue, was killed at 

 Baroda in September.

Antinori's Rough-winged Swallow was met with in 

 Jimma, Kaffa, KuUo, Gofa and Baku, between May and 

 July. 



A young female from Adie Kaka, in Kaffa, killed on the 

 10th of June, has the crown and back dull bronze-brown, 

 without any purple gloss, and the underparts, especially the 

 breast and belly, smokj^-brown without any gloss. The 

 under wing-coverts are mostly brownish-black, while in 

 the adult they are pure white. 



225. PSALIDOPROCNE BLANFORDI. 



PsaUdopi'Ocne blanfordi Weld-Blundell & Lovat; Ogiivie- 

 Grant, Ibis, 1900, p. 178. 



An adult male of Blanford's Rough-winged Swallow, 

 obtained at Didcssa on the 5th of May, differs slightly from 

 the type-specimen, which was killed a little further east at 

 Bilo, in having the underparts rather greener. An immature 

 male was also shot in the same neighbourhood at Limmu, on 

 the Urguessa River, on the 2nd of May. There can, I 

 think, be no doubt that this species is quite distinct from 

 P.pristoptera (Rupp.) (c/. Neumann, J. f. O. 1905, p. 203).
