Hiriondo rustica, C ii, p, 302 (Tenasserim). 



9. Tapli, Pakchan, Peninsular Siam, 1 1 March 1919 (No. 4540). 



" Iris dark ; bill and feet black ". 



Total length 139 ; wing 112; tail 60 ; tarsus 12.5 ; bill from

Common everywhere in winter. It is quoted by Gyldenstolpe 

 (Ibis, 1920, p. 578) as breeding in the Inner Gulf of Siam, under a 

 misapprehension ; Williamson's eggs were stated by him to be those 

 of H. javanica. 



Hirundo rustica tytleri Jerdon. 



Hirundo tytleri, Jerdon, Birds of India, iii, 1864, p. 870 (Dacca, 

 East Bengal) ; A., p. 41 (Tavoy). 



As this race occurs in South Tenasserim in winter, it is almost 

 certain to visit the north of the Peninsula. Mr. C. J. Aagaard ob- 

 tained an example at Bangkok in May 1922. 



311. Hirundo badia (Cass.). 



Cecromis badia, Cassia, Proc. Philad. Acad., 1853, p. 371. 

 Hirundo hadia, D., p. 66 (Patani) ; E., p. 95 (Patani) ; F , p. 50 



(Malay Peninsula); H., p. 98 (Baudon) ; J., p. 166 (Terutau 



and Langkawi Ids.) ; L. p. 103 (Ghirhi). 



/^e.6 Three specimens from Ronpibun, Nakon Sri Tamarat, in 

 Ma^etr 1922. Always associated with limestone hills.

Hirundo 7iipalensis, Hodgson, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, v, 1836,

There is no reason why this bird should not occur in the area.
