Gould made this the type of his Hirundo fretensis, but, as has already been pointed out 

 in the ' Catalogue of Birds,' this supposed species is identical with //. guttiiralis. 



No detailed account of the habits of the Eastern Chimney-SwalloAv has been 

 published, but all notes agree, as might be expected, that its habits are precisely similar 

 to those of the European bird. 



The descriptions are taken from specimens in the British Museum, and the figure is 

 drawn from a fine and typical adult bird procured by Professor Milne near Yokohama.
