41. Calamospiza melanocorys Stejneger — Lark Bunting. 



This bird was common along the road from Ogallala to 

 Grant, June 22, 1905, and Zimmer saw numbers of them be- 

 tween Grant and Imperial, July 1, 1911. The birds are 

 present throughout the hills and undoubtedly breed there, 

 though no nests were discovered. They are often seen along 

 the road, usually in pairs, a black and white male with its 

 duller colored and streaked mate, where they precede one 

 along a line of fence, flying ahead from post to post or from 

 wire to wire and finally swinging around in a wide circle 

 and returning to a position some distance behind. At 

 Haigler, Swenk flushed a lone bird west of town July 24, 

 1903, and the next day started several pairs of them from 

 a large deep blowout iii the sandhills north of that town. 

 Zimmer did not note the Lark Bunting at Haigler. 



42. Progne snbis (Linnaeus) — Purple Martin. 



Swenk noted this swallow at Imperial, June 23, 1905, and 

 at Haigler two days later. Zimmer did not find the species 

 at Haigler in 1911. 



43. Pctrocheiidon lunifrons (Say) — Cliff Swallow. 



On July 24, 1903, Swenk saw five of these swallows flying 

 over the river at Haigler, and on June 26, 1905, others were 

 again noted at the same locality, but the species was not 

 seen by Zimmer in 1911. 



44. Hirundo erythrogastra Boddaert — Barn Swallow. 



One was seen between Ogallala and Grant, June 22, 1905, 

 by Swenk, and a dozen or more pairs were found nesting 

 under a bridge at Haigler four days later by the same ob- 

 server, who noted three birds at Benkelman on the 23rd, also, 

 Zimmer found Barn Swallows common at Haigler, noting 

 individuals on July 4, 6, and 11, 1911. 



45. Riparia riparia (Linnaeus) — Bank Swallow. 



Swenk noted twenty-six of these swallows between Benk- 

 elman and Parks, July 23, 1903, and Zimmer saw several of 

 them at Haigler on July 4 and again on July 8, 1911. 



46. Stelgidopteryx serrip ennis {KudiVihon) — Rough- winged Swal- 



low. 

 Zimmer noted this species at Haigler on July 5, 8, and 11, 

 1911, where it was somewhat more common than the Bank 

 Swallow.
