Atticora Boie* 



Bill short, weak, with the gape very wide, the sides gradually compressed, and the culmen curved 

 to the tip ; the nostrils basal, lateral, and rounded. Wings lengthened, with the first quiil the longest. 

 Tail very long, and much forked. Tarsi shorter than the middle toe, and scutellated. Toes long and 

 very slender, and the lateral ones unequal. 



The species of this division inhabit South America, New Guinea, Australia, and Africa. The Australian bird, as 

 Mr. Coxen informs Mr. Grould, " is a very wandering species, never very numerous, and is generally seen in small 

 flocks of from ten to twenty in number, flying about, sometimes in company with the other swallows, for about ten 

 minutes, and then flying right away; Mr. Coxen noticed this singular habit every time he had an opportunity of 

 observing the species. It usually flies very high, a circumstance Avhich renders it difficult to procure specimens. Its 

 flight more nearly resembles that of the swift than that of the swallow ; its cry also, at times, very much resembles that 

 of the former. Its food principally consists of minute black flies. This bird chooses for its nest the deserted hole of 

 either the Walyte or the Boodea, in the sides of which it burrows for about seven or nine inches in a horizontal direction, 

 making no nest, but merely laying its eggs on the bare sand."
