The birds nests from which the far
famed Chinese soup is made r built
by a species of swallow that abounds
on the coasts of Java, Ceylon and Bor-
neo, and consists of a gelatinous sub
stance obtained from marine plants.
The nests are boiled either in chicken
broth or In milk of almonds, and the
result very much resembles vermicelli
soup, except that it is far more costly.
