L''Hirondelle d'Antigue (p. 118, pi. Ixxvi). [= Hirundo (jutturalis, Scop, {infra).'] — This description 

 and figure can belong to nothing else but the Chimney-Swallow of the East, though the size ("de 

 I'Hirondelle de rivage d'Europe") and the absence o£ any remarks about the white spots on the tail 

 will always invest the determination o£ Sounerat's bird with a certain amount of doubt.
