'T 'H E American one differs from the European fpecies, in having
1 the under fide ferruginous; which circumftance is alfo ob-
fervable in thofe which are found-beyond the Jenifei, and in all
the north-eaft part o f Sihiria *. The Votiaks, a Finnijh nation,
pay great refpeft to the Swallow; for “ he that kills one of
thefe, a Lapwing, Pigeon, or Wagtail, expofes himfelf to all forts
o f misfortunes in his flock: They even build nefts for the Swallows
-ft.

A /T R . Hutchins inforrrrs-me, that the Martin is called, at Hud-
ron’s Bay, Shajhywinepejhew; but I am not certain that it
quite anfwers to the defcription of the Englijh fpecies : perhaps it
may be the Black-rumped one, mentioned in the Phlofophtcal

I met with this in the colleftion of Sir Jofeph Banks, fuppofed
to have come from China. It is mod likely a variety,,if not d ifferent
in fex, from the Ambergris Swallow,
