flock of eighty Bank Swallows aud twelve Purple Martins. After this 

 date only the usual summer numbers of the breeding species were seen; 

 there were no more migrants. The Purple iNIartiu which seemed to be 

 less affected by weather conditions after arrival than the other species, 

 was orthodox in its arrival which occurred on a cloudy morning after a 

 clear night. 



There is no other record so complete; and it can not be stated whether 

 this relation between weather and migration is a fixed one. but in regard 

 to the migratory movements of SAvallows in 1903, it may be said that the 

 relation was so close that one could predict the uumljers to be found on 

 any day from the condition of the weather.
