 moments, singly or twos, over the village June 17, 21, July 3, always be- 

 tween 8.40 and 10 a. m.

 Shoe Falls, 8500 feet, but none at Mills Park. Several at Fork's, where a

 ing continually. The bird was pure white on the breast and tail and had 

 black stripes on the white head, resembling the markings of the White- 

 crowned Sparrow.
