The differences betw'oen H. semirufa and II. gordoni are so slight that it will probably
be found that tho two forms intergrade, and will have to be treated as one species, of
which n . semirufa is the larger southern form. The specimens procured by Emin Paslia
at Wadelai on the 12tli of October have been referred to the latter by Captain Shelley.
Mr. Bolmdorff procured this race at Kassongo, on the Upper Congo, about 1° 30' S.
lat., and at Kiboiigo, between Kassougo aud Lake Tanganyika.

D r . K en d a l l states that he only procured this species at Combo, on the Elver Gambia.
Dr. Hartert, during his expedition up the Niger and Benue Rivers, only found it at
the King’s Kraal, at Anassawara. It was apparently breeding in the neighbouring rocks.
T)r. Reichenow noticed it on the Camaroons and AVari Rivers.
Dr. Fischer, during his last journey to the Victoria Nyanza, procured this Swallow
at Kawanga, to the north-cast of the lake, on the lo th of January. He also noticed it
in Ussuri and Usukuma. Air. F. J. Jackson states that it was plentiful in Uganda in
Alay, and was evidently about to breed there, as one of the birds he shot was carrying a
feather in its bill.

Dr. E e io h e s o w records the present species from Togo Land. Mr. Hartert observed
it at Loko, on the Benue. It was not seen in the villages hut on the edges of the
forests, and was not very common. The late Mr. Jameson procured it at Yanibuya,
on the Aruwhimi River.
A mistake has occurred in our account of the present species, where it appears
that Mr. Buttikofer had found this Swallow on the Gold Coast, which he has never
visited. The sentence (lino 20) should read as f o l l ows “ On the Gold Coast it was
originallv obtained by Dr. Gordon, &c., &c.”
