The following note by Mr. Blanf ord on the occurrence of this species in Sikhim was 

 accidentia omitted in the article on this species : — " Common on the Chola range about 

 the upper limit of forest, 12,000 to 13,000 feet. It was chiefly seen hunting over streams 

 and lakes." 



Mr. Gates writes : — " This species ascends the Himalayas up to 12,000 or 13,000 

 feet, and it appears to breed along the whole range, from Kashmir to Sikhim. Its range 

 in the plains is quite unknown." 



The plate given by Dr. Giglioli and Signor Manzelia in the ' Iconographia ' of the 

 bird identified by the former naturalist as C. cashiuiriensis shows that it was, as 

 suspected by Count Salvadori, only a small individual of C. urbica. 



Eor the geographical distribution of this species, vide infra, Plate 8 [Map]. 



CHELIDON DASYPUS [««f.a, p. 23]. 



Add. :— 



Chelidon dasi/jnis, Blakist. Amend. List B. Jap. p. 14 (1881) ; Everett, J. A. Sne. 

 Straits Branch, 1889, p. 134; Seeb. B. Jap. Emp. 144 (1890). 



In our account of this species wc gave the habitat as Borneo and Japan, " doubtless 

 occurring in intervening localities during migration." Wc have since seen a specimen 

 in Mr. Styan's collection from Formosa, which appears to indicate the route by whicli 

 the species reaches its winter home. Up to the present time its occurrence in the 

 Philippines has not been notified, but it can scarcely be doubted that it passes througli 

 the Archipelago on its winter migration. 



Mr. Seebohm says that it is a very common summer visitor to all the Japanese 

 Islands, breeding on the clifi's and in the cjivcs ; he states that the egL;s in the rrycv 

 collection do not dilfcr from those of the European Housc-]\lavtin.
