1. In northern Pennsylvania and New Jersey the Bank Swallow is 

 a summer resident, but so far as we can ascertain it does not seem 

 to breed in those parts of the states included in the Carolinian 

 Fauna.* 



272, StehjUlopteryx serripennis (Ald.). Rough- 

 winged Swallow. 



Bkeedixg Range — N. A., maiuly south of the northern border of the 



Carolinian Fauna. 

 Winter Distribution — Through Mexico to Guatemala. 



Common summer resident in suitable localities throughout south- 

 eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey, from April 25 to 

 September 1. It does not, however, extend its range much farther 

 north than the Carolinian Fauna. 



Family Ampelidae — The Waxwings. 



Only two species occur in eastern North America. 



{_273.'] Ampelis gaf^ruliis L,i^y. Bohemian Waxwing. 



Breeding Range — High northern regions. 



Winter Distribution — Southward to the northern border of U. S. 



Extremely rare winter visitant. 



One specimen shot in Pennsylvania is in the collection of the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences, and Dr. C. C. Abbott (Birds of N.J.) 

 reports two shot in Cape May county and Morris county, N. J. 

 Dr. Warren also records one in his possession taken in Elk county, 

 Pa. 



* We have been frequently informed that the Bank Swallow occurred as a 

 regular breeder in southern Pennsylvania, but in every case investigation 

 proved that the bird was the Rough-winged Swallow. The general confusion 

 of the two species is, no doubt, accountable for the prevalent idea that the 

 Bank Swallow is the common breeder in this section. That it does breed oc- 

 casionally is quite probable, but as yet we have no positive evidence.
