Show 187L] MR. R. SWINHOE ON THE BIRDS OF CHINA. 345 58. CAPRIMULGUS MONTICOLA, Frankl. P. Z. S. 1831, p. 116. Caprimulgus stictomus, Swinh. P. Z. S. 1863, p. 263. Caprimulgus pallidus, Gray, Zool. Misc. p. 2. Caprimulgus ?, Ibis, 1860, p 47, 1861, p. 30. South China in summer. I have a very rufous and brightly marked female from Amoy, which I at first confounded with the following bird. 59. CAPRIMULGUS STICTOMUS, Swinhoe, Ibis, 1863, p. 250, 1866, pp. 315, 402. Like the last, but smaller, with the toes, especially the middle one, conspicuously longer. Resident in Formosa. 60. CYPSELUS PEKINENSIS, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 435. This pale representative of C. apus, L., comes to Pekin in large numbers in April (David) to breed, and leaves early in August. A bird from the Himalayas, brought home by Dr. Jerdon, agrees with my specimens ; and it is probably this species, and not the true C. apus, which is found in India in winter. 61.

Cypselus tectorum, Jerdon. Hainan. I have compared my specimens with Dr. Jerdon's type from Upper Assam, and with Dr. Sclater's type from Borneo in Mr. Wallace's collection, and find them all to be of the same species. 64. CH_ETURA CAUDACUTA(Lath.). Hirundo ciris, Pall. Zoograph. Rosso-Asiat. Acanthylis caudacuta (Lath.), P. Z. S. 1863, p. 263. Chaetura nudipes, Hodgs. ; Ibis, 1860, p. 48. Amoy.

It is probably this species that makes the edible nests in the caves |
