ed among the rootlets overhanging the bank at the upper side 

 of the road. The old bird was flushed from the nest. 



An old nest of Louisiana Water-Thrush was noted tucked 

 under some projecting moss and sod in the side of the road 

 in a damp piece of woodland. 



The next day, August 22, while on the street near the public 

 square in Morgantown I saw a Pileated Woodpecker (Ceophlo- 

 eus pileatus abieticold). crossing over the central part of the 

 town, in the rear of the Court House. There was also a num- 

 br of Purple Martins in the vicinity of the Court House ; and 

 I was told that a number of these birds had nested in the cor- 

 nice of a building near the public square. 



In the evenings, Nighthawks were seen in considerable num- 

 bers as the southern movement of these birds was on. 



On the 23, I returned home by way of the road paralleling 

 the Monongahela River, and owing to a constant drizzling rain 

 but few records were taken. 



Migrant Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus migrans^) One seen on 

 a telegraph wire. Barn and Cliff Swallows were seen in great 

 numbers, one flock alone numbering about a thousand in- 

 dividuals.
