Dr. Stoliczka states that he saAV this Swift in considerable numbers near Sonamarg on 
atV^h ^ u gust. Dr. Scully observes ; — “ The Swift was first noticed flying over the fort 
Yarkand on the 10th of April ; after that it was seen daily near the fort and city until the 
en 4 of .luly j w }i en it seemed to have disappeared.” He gives an account of its nesting, and 
ays that the Turki name for it is “ Kirich Karloghach ,” the “ Sabre Swallow.” 
I have examined the specimens of Cypselus acuticctuda mentioned by Dr. Scully (t. c. 
32), and believe that they are also referable to G. peTdnensis.
