SWALLOW. 283 



broods in a year. We have separated this from the first species, of 

 which we are inclined to think it only a Variety, and the same in 

 respect to the one last described from Azara.

THIS is smaller than the Chimney Swallow; length five inches and 

 a half. Bill black ; within the mouth yellow ; irides hazel ; general 

 colour of the plumage above glossy blue black ; the rump, and all 

 beneath, from chin to vent, white ; tail forked, but less so than in 

 the Chimney Swallow; the legs covered with white down quite to 

 the claws, which are also white. 



This is frequent in England, perhaps more numerous than the 

 Chimney Species, and differs greatly in constructing the nest ; build- 

 ing it of mud and straw, under the eaves and cornices of houses, on 

 the outside, leaving a hole for entrance, and lining it with feathers ;
