LITEEATUEE. ' xly 



1817. Stephens, J. E. General Zoology, or Systematic Natural History, commenced 



by the late George Shaw, M.D., E.R.S. With Plates. Vol. x. part 1. 8vo. 

 London, 1817. Pp. xx, 317. 



The HirundinidcB occupy pp. 77-134. H. rustica is figured (pi. ix.). 



Hirundo savignii is the name given to pi. 4 of Savigny's ' Histoire Naturelle d'Egypte,' so that 

 this is the first name for the Egyptian Swallow. 



Hirundo riififrons (p. 91), founded on " L'Hirondelle a front roux " of Levaillant. Hirundo capensis 

 figured (pi. s.). What species is figured here we cannot affirm for certain. It is not taken 

 from Levaillant's " Hirondelle rousseline," but appears to have been copied by Griffith from 

 D'Aubenton's " Hirondelle des Chemiuees " (PI. Enl. 543. fig. 1). It is probable that the 

 plate had been prepared before Stephens undertook the work, but the figure is undoubtedly 

 only that of a Common Swallow. 



Hirundo cristata (p. 94) is the name given to Levaillant's " Hirondelle huppee." 



Hirundo velox (p. 97) is the name bestowed on Levaillant's " Martinet velocifere." 



Hirundo leticorrhoa (p. 98), founded on Levaillant's "Martinet a croupion blanc." Probably 

 Cypselus caffer {cf. Hartert, Cat. B. xvi. p. 450). 



Hirundo (J ular is (p. 99), founded on Levaillant's "JNIartinet a gorge blanc," = C^^5e/«s africanus, 

 Temm. 



Hirundo palustris (p. 101), founded on "L'Hirondelle de Marais, on La Brunette," of Levaillant. 



Hirundo pi atensis (p. 126) is evidently taken from Latham's " Rufous-rumped Swallow" and is 

 Hirundo pyrrhonot a (V.). 



Hirundo indica figured (pi. xiv.), the figure being a copy of that of Latham, Gen. Syn. pi. Ivi. This 

 bird is probably the young of Hirundo smithii. 



1818. Tucket, Capt. J. K. Narrative of an Expedition to explore the River Zaij-e, 



usually called the Congo, in South Africa, in 1816. To which is added the 

 Journal of Professor Smith ; some general observations on the country and its 

 inhabitants ; and an Appendix, containing the Natural History of that part of 

 the Kingdom of Congo through which the Zaire flows. Ito. London, 1818. 

 Pp. Ixxxii, 1.98. 



At p. 407 is an Appendix, " No. IV. A general notice of the Animals taken by Mr. John Cranch, 

 during the expedition to explore the source of the River Zaire." This Appendix is attributed to 

 Dr. Leach, but we can find no mention of his authorship in the volume itself. 



Hirundo smithii is described as a new species (p. 407).
