Distribution of Apus myoptilus chapini in the eastern part of the Republique democratique du Congo. is different from the one of the Kivu-Maniema area, Chapin 's swift being unknown from the intermediate country. In Kamituga this bird normally appears about the middle of June, as in 1954, 1956, 1958 and 1964 and even on 30th May, as in 1957 and 1960. From July to September chapini may often be seen over the locality of Kamituga. But in October, it becomes rare and I noticed its presence only on the 7th (1956), on the 18th (1957) and on the 26th (1957). Then, in November and December, it is absent from Kamituga. In January it is still rare and only two specimens have been collected on the 8th in 1958. It also made a short appearance on the 21st (1962). In February Chapin's swift was noticed again rather often over Kami- tuga, but not in great number. In March it becomes rare and I never saw it myself over Kamituga, though two specimens have been shot on the 7th (1958) and one on the 25th (1953), but on 26th March, 1957 I ob- served it at Bilembo, quite near Kamituga. In April I only saw it once over Kamituga (on the 27th, 1963) and during the whole month of May it is not generally in this locality. In other places, in the Kivu area, Chapin's swift has been found from February to May and from July to November,.
