[QUOTE="janvanderbrugge, post: 3951759, member: 137246"] Hello Laurent, Reading your remarks, I immediately thought of the linguistically rather horrifying list of Th. van Swinderen, mentioned below, but the "Mealy Swallow" is not there. Van Swinderen (not an ornithologist) did not compose the list himself, this was done by one of the junior ornithologists, I cannot trace the name right now, I think it was one of the German fellows, Boie perhaps, in the "Temminck team" (if I may denote it that way). I take the liberty of adding the names I gathered for my own nomenclatural files. The Van Swinderen list has "Stadsche Zwaluw", apparently taken from one of the German names (= urban swallow).
