Total number of species 41. 



During the past three winters Mr. Dawson and the writer have recorded 

 fifty species ; the record of forty-one species for the past winter being the 

 largest. Each winter adds a few to the list, no doubt largely due to 

 increasing activity on our part. Easier access to the lake shore would 

 undoubtedly result in greatly extending the number of winter bii'ds.

A PRIMITIVE SWIFT COLONY. 



While camped on the edge of beautiful Lake Drummond in the heart 

 of the Dismal Swamp, June, 1897, we noticed a. number of Chimney 

 Swifts sailing about the lake. Looking for the chimney of our hotel, 

 (two rough board shanties), we found it missing and the question, 

 Where do they nest, naturally enough arose. The nearest habitation 

 being some five miles distant and that, if our memory serves us right, 

 possessed but a single chimney, which was in use and could not be let to 

 the swifts for a household.
