Two adult females with the tails deeply forked and measuring, respec- 

 tively, 3*7 and 3*8 inches, have distinct black shafts to all the chestnut feathers 

 of the underparts. In an immature female with the tail less deeply forked, 

 measuring only 3^0 inches in length, and with the secondaries and greater 

 wing-coverts narrowly margined at the tips with rufous, the black shaft 

 streaks on the feathers of the underparts are only indicated on some of the 

 feathers of the chest. This difference is important and does not appear to have 

 been properly recorded. 



The Malayan Chestnut Swallow has the iris hazel, the bill black, yellow 

 at the gape, and the feet fleshy-brown. 



' This species seems only to be found in the precipitous limestone hills, 

 honeycomed with caves, which are so characteristic a feature of certain parts 

 of the Malay Peninsula. Round these hills it is very abundant, nesting in the 

 entrances of the caves and beneath overhanging ledges of the cliffs.'
