The Barn Swallow has a very general distribution throughout the Mid- 

 dle Region, but it appears to be nowhere veiy common. Specimens were 

 secured both in Nevada and Utah at various points, most often in the close 

 vicinity of settlements, where, secure in the protection of man, it builds its 

 nest under the roofs and in the outbuildings. Individuals of the species 

 were quite numerous at Fort Garland, Colo., and at Santa Fe, N. Mex., and 

 also on the road between here and Fort Wingate, where they were seen by 

 Dr. Newberry. This is the most southern point at which we have seen it. 

 It has been detected in Aiizona only at Fort Mojave by Dr. Cooper, as 

 above quoted
