3. L'Hiroudellc de S. Domingue (p. 493). — From the Island of Dominica^ whence sent to Reaumur 



by a M. Cliervain. On this description and on D'Aubenton's figure the name of Hirundo 

 dominicensis was founded by Gmelin. 



4. L'Hirondelle de Cayenne (p. 495). — Described and figured (pi. xlvi. fig. 1) from a specimen 



sent to Reaumur by M. Verron from Cayenne. From this description and D'Aubenton's 

 figure is derived Gmelin's name of Hirundo chalybea. 



5. L'Hirondelle du Senegal (p. 496, pi. xlv. fig. 1). — Described and figured from a specimen sent 



to Reaumur by M. Adanson. Evidently the Great Mosque-Swallow of Senegal, and it is on 

 this description that Liniifeus founded his Hirundo senegalensis . 



6. L'Hirondelle du Perou (p. 498), and 



7. La Grande Hirondelle du Perou (p. 498). 



These two species are derived from Feuillee (Journ. Obs. Pliys. p 33 [1725]) and were not 

 known to Brisson. We cannot identify the first for certain, but the second §,eems to be 

 Atticora cinerea. 



8. L'Hirondelle de la Martinique (p. 499, pi. xlv. fig. 2). — The figure represents a small Spine-tailed 



Swift, sent to Reaumur by M. Thibault de Chanvalon from the Island of Martinique. It is 

 probably the same bird figured by D'Aubeuton under the same name. 



9. L'Hirondelle de la Caroline (p. 501). — This description of a Spine-tailed Swift is founded on 



that of Catesby (App. p. 8, pi. 8). Linnseus named it Hirundo pelayica in his lOtli edition 

 (c/. Hartert, Cat. B. xvi. p. 480), and it is the Hirundo pelasgia of his 12th edition (p. 345). 

 He also adds : — 



Conf. Hirundo martinicana, Briss. Av. ii. p. 499, t. 45. f. 2. 

 The latter bird, which, it must be remembered, was described by Brisson from an actual speci- 

 men, is not mentioned by Mr. Hartert in the above-quoted volume, and we are unable to 

 identify it further. 



10. L'Hirondelle d'Amerique (p. 502, pi. xlv. fig. 3). — The figure is unrecognizable, but the 



description is taken from a Cayenne specimen sent to Reaumur by M. Artur. It is the 

 "Tapera" of the Brazilians, as quoted by Sloane, Marcgrave, and others of the old authors, and 

 is the Hirundo tapera of Linnaeus (p. 345). 



11. La Grande Hirondelle d'Espague (p. 504). [ = Hirundo melba, Linn. S. N. i. p. 345. Cf. Hartert, 



Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xvi. p. 438.] 



12. L'Hirondelle de rivage (p. 506). \_ = Hirundo riparia, Linn. S. N. i. p. 344.] 



13. L'Hirondelle de rivage du Senegal (p. 508, pi. xlv. fig. 4). \_=Hirundo anibrosiaca, Gm. S. N. 



i. p. 1021.] — Dr. Sclater has pointed out that this caunot be a Swift, as Brisson, the most con- 

 scientious of describers, expressly states that his specimen had twelve tail-feathers. It is 

 therefore impossible to define what the species really is. {Cf. Finsch & Hartlaub, Vog. 

 Ostafr. p. 132; and Hartert, Cat. B. xvi. p. 463.) 



14. L'Hirondelle de rivage de la Cochinchine (p. 510, pi. xlvi. fig. 2 a). [ = Hirundo esculenta, Linn. 



S. N. i. p. 343. Collocalia esculenta (L.), Hartert, t. c. p. 509.] 



15. Le Martinet (p. 512). [ — Hirundo apus, Linn. S. N. i. p. 3'ii; = Ci/pselus apus (L.). Micropus 



apus, Hartert, t. c. p. 442.] 



16. Le Martinet de S. Domingue (p. 514, pi. xlvi. fig. 3). [ = Hirundo nigra, Gm. Ci/pneloides 



niger, Hartert, Cat. B. xvi. p. 494.] 



17. Le Martinet de la Caroline (p. 515). — From Catesby's " Purple Martin." [= Hirundo purpurea, 



Linn. S. N. i. p. 345.]
