 Nests & Eggs Austr. B. p. 33 (1889). 



Me. North writes : — " This species of Swallow is the only one with which I am 

 acquainted that is not migratory, being found in this locality (Mossgiel, New South 

 Wales) and to the same extent as regards numbers all the year round. It is widely 

 distributed throughout the timbered or ' back ' country, but is never found on the plains., 

 and is generally seen in small flocks of five or six in number. It breeds here during the 

 month of October, in holes in the sides of the entrances to the burrows of either the 

 Bettongia or Peragalea, whether inhabited by these animals or not. I have never found 

 more than four e?^s in a nest. 



" Three eggs taken by Mr. Bennett on October 19th, 1885, at Mossgiel, are 

 pure white, and measure as follows: — (a) 0*64 x 0-48 inch; (b) - 63xO-1S inch; 

 (c) 0-64 x 0-17 inch. 



:t Specimens in my possession, taken by Mr. Gardner in South Australia, give the 

 same measurements."
