(Sept. 18)--Koror, 3 (Nov. 5, 6, 7); AMNH--exact locality not

_Remarks._--The NAMRU2 party found the swiftlet to be numerous on
islands in the southern Palaus in 1945. The birds were observed flying
in clearings and about the cliffs. Coultas writes (field notes) that
they nest in caves on the smaller islands.
