The genns Hirmdo occupies three pages (pp. 313-345). Twelve species-were known toLiunæus, of
which many were Swifts (Cypseli). The species a rc :— 1. Hirundo rustica (p. 343) ; 2. H. esculenta
{ = CoUocalia esculenta)-, 3. H. urbica-, 4. H. riparia; 5. H. purpurea [ex Catesby); 6. H. apus
( = Cypselus apus) ; 7. H. subis • (ex Edwards, pi. 120) = Progne purpurea ; 8. if. senegalensis (ex Brisson,
ii. pi. 45. fig. 1) ; 9. H. tapera (ex Brisson, pi. 45. fig. S)=Progne lapera ; 10. H. pelasgia (ex Catesbyi
App. p. 8, pi. S) = Cha!tura pelasgia; 11. H. mciba (ex Edwards and Brisson) = Cypse&s melba (L.) ,"
and, lastly, 12. Hirundo pratineola, the Pratincole. I t is curious th at Linnæus should have put thé
Pratineole into the genus Hirundo, aud a century later Sundcvall once more placed it with the
Caprimuigida {cf. Av. Meth. Teut. p. 86).
