CBAG SWALLOW. 99 



According to Degland, the young before the first moult have the 

 feathers of the upper parts bordered with russet; those of the inferior 

 parts of a yellow russet, and the throat spotted with brown on a white 

 ground. 



My figure is after a specimen kindly sent me by the Rev. Canon 

 Tristram, marked "Kedron, near the Dead Sea, March, 1858." The 

 egg is from my own collection. It was taken in Switzerland by M. 

 Fairmaire, and was sent to me by M. Nager-Donaziens, of Unsern. 



The bird has also been figured by Naumann, pi. 146; Vieillot, 

 Faun. Fr., pi. 39; Eoux, Ornith. Provence, pi. 142; Bouteille, Ornith. 

 du Dauph; pi. 38, f. 6; Gould, B. of E., pi. 56.
