i'^4- Antrostomus carolinensis. Chuck-will's Widow. — 

 Summer resident in south-east Virginia. This species occurs 

 on the Eastern Shore and is reported to the Department of Agri- 

 culture by Mr. C. R. Moore of Bird's Nest, Northampton County, 

 who gives the end of April as the time of its arrival. A speci- 

 men from that place was received by the Department, May 17, 

 1890. I have been informed of its occurrence in the same County 

 by Captain C. H. Crumb who took a specimen at Cobb's Island, 

 several years ago. Mr. B. W.Jones of Spottsville, vSurry County 

 (in the Southside Peninsula) also writes to the Department of 

 Agriculture: " It is about as common here in summer as the 

 Whip-poor-will. We may often hear several of both birds any 

 summer evening. It appears to be more abundant now than 

 formerly. Its note makes it impossible to mistake it." Mr. J. 

 H. Allen considers it common at Toano, James City County. 



155, Antrostomus vociferus. Whip-poor-will. — Com- 

 mon summer resident of the Virginias ; less numerous in the

 and June, 1S84, (O. and O. Vol. IX p. 145) and Rev. W. E. Hill 

 one in Hancock County, W^ Va., May 16. 1S83. (O. and O. 

 Vol. IX, p. 89.) 



156 Chordeiles virginianus. Night Hawk ; Bull Bat. — 

 Common in the migrations in the Virginias, and remains to breed 

 in many localities. It arrives in April or early in May, and leaves 

 the latter part of September. I am informed that it breeds com- 

 monly on the beaches at Cobb's Island. A few are said to breed 

 in the neighborhood of Washington. It is especially abundant 

 in the latter part of August.
