edible-nest swifts (Collocalia) and their allies left much to be desired. 

 The temperature on the top of the hill was delicious : at n a.m., 

 when I reached the Rajah's bungalow, the thermometer was at 

 77 Fahr. ; at 2 p.m. it had only risen to about 8o°. In the evening 

 I was back at Blida, where I always stayed with pleasure on account 

 of the excellent shooting to be had. Next day I returned once more 

 to Kuching.
