There remain, therefore, but ten species to be accounted for, which cannot be 

 tabulated as strictly peculiar to any one of the six regions. They are as follows : — 



1. Chelidon . I. C. urhica ; 2. C. larjopiis. 



2. Cotile I.e. riparia. 



3. Biblis I. B. rupestris ; 2. B. obsoleta. 



4. Hirundo 1. H. nipalensis ; 2. H. rvfula ■ H. H. sinithii ■ 



4. H. javanica ; 5. H. erijthrogastra. 



Thus Chelidon iirhica and C. lagopus are Palaearctic and Indian. Cotile riparia is 

 Palsearctic and Nearctic. Biblis rupestris is Paltearctic, Ethiopian, and Indian ; 

 B. obsoleta is Palaearctic and Ethiopian. Hirundo nipalensis is Palsearctic and Indian ; 

 H. riifula is Palaearctic, Ethiopian, and Indian ; H. smitkii is Ethiopian and Indian ; 

 S. javanica is Australian and Indian ; and H. erijtUrogastra is Paltearctic and Nearctic. 

 The 109 species are thus fully accounted for. 



The twelve genera Lave the following distribution, four being peculiar to a distinct 



region : — 



Palfearctic Region. 



Ethiopian Region Two peculiar, viz. Phedina and Psalidoprocne. 



Indian Region. 



Australian Region One peculiar, viz. Clierammca. 



Nearctic Region. 



Neotropical Region One peculiar, viz. Atticora.
