This Wood Swallow was extremely common in the open 
country of the Korinchi Valley and also in the low-lying land 
along the coast. sitting like its congeners in Australia in rows 
on the telegraph wires and wheeling through the air in long 
circling glides with the wings held stiff like a kite or hawk. 
From the records it appears to be very much rarer on the 
East Coast of Sumatra, while it is altogether absent from the 
Malay Peninsula.

nesting and roosting in the Coconut and Areca palms. 
These specimens are normal in every way and agree 
closely with others from various parts of the mainland of the 
Malay Peninsula. They show no tendency to an enlargement
