 resident and breeds. 



74. Progne subis. Purple Martin. — Common about the business 

 portion of the city from April to September, nesting in the cornices of 

 the buildings and wherever it can find a suitable place. 



I have called this P. subis, which I believe it to be ; it may, however, be 

 P. s. hesperia, but specimens are very hard to obtain, as the birds are 

 only found about the business part of the city.

 summer resident ; breeds.

 from early March to October. Breeds.

 of only one record for this locality, an adult male taken by myself May 

 14, 1S95, this being, I believe, the first recorded specimen for this State. 

 Dr. A. K. Fisher, however, informs me that a pair, male and female, 

 with nest and eggs, were secured near Tacoma in the early summer of 

 1896.
