Marshall, 1945 Palau Collocalia inexpectata all islands abundant throughout but not evenly dists. Always some along crest of ridge. Not in jungle. Small groups or flocks of a dozen favor certain spots where they are seen daily: a certain populated road intersection on Babelthuap, a road cut in farm co. on Koror, road between ridge & lagoon N end Koror ridge (the little ridge).
