xxxviii LITEEATUEE. 



Var. A. Taken from D'Aubenton's ' Planches Enluminees' (pi. 546. fig. 1). Not identified, 

 and probably not a Swallow at all. 



28. Esculent Swallow. \_=Hirundo esculenta, L.] 



29. Wheat Swallow. — Founded on " L'Hirondelle brune h. ventre tachete, ou L'Hirondelle des Bles," 



of Montbeillard (H. N. Oiscaux, vi. p. 694). D'Aubenton's figure (pi. 544. fig. 2) is here 

 quoted as a " variety/' in which identification Latham again follows Montbeillard. 



30. Grey-rumped Swallow. — This is founded on Montbeillard's " Petite Hirondelle k croupion gris," 



which was brought from the Isle of France by M. Commerson. Montbeillard describes the 

 bird as black above, with the rump whitish, and the entire under surface whitish. Latham 

 quotes again fig. 2 of D'Aubenton's plate 544, forgetting, apparently, that on the previous 

 page he had referred this figure to his "Wheat Swallow." His description, however, is un- 

 doubtedly that of the " Hirondelle de I'isle de Bourbon " of D'Aubenton (PI. Enl. 544. fig. 2). 

 The quotation of " fig. 2," in which he is followed by Gmelin, is quite wrong ; but the 

 description of the " Grey-rumped Swallow" is certainly Collocalia francica (Gm.), and is so 

 identified by Mr. Hartert (Cat. B. xvi. p. 503). 



31. Rufous-rumped Swallow. — Founded on Montbeillard's "Hirondelle a croupion roux et queue 



carree." This may be Petrochelidon pyrrlionota, but the description is not accurate. 

 It is noteworthy that Latham seems to have appreciated the diff'erences between Swallows and 

 Swifts, as all the remaining species, nos. 32-37, are placed at the end of the Swallows, and are even 

 spoken of as " Swifts." He did not, however, demonstrate the true distinctions between them.
