69. (417) Antrostomus vociferus vociferus. WHIP-POOR-WILL.— 
This species evidently did not breed on the island, as none were 
seen until September 9. On this date, the writer flushed one from 
the side of the path. This bird was the only one seen and was no 
doubt a straggler from the mainland. 
70. (420) Chordeiles virginianus virginianus. NigHTHAwk.— 
The nighthawk was not a breeder on the island, and none were 
seen until August 21, when eight flew over the light-house clear- 
ing. It was seen again in the evening on August 22, 28, 25, 28, 
and September 7. 
71. (423) Chaetura pelagica. CHIMNEY Swirr.—A family of 
four inhabited the light-house chimney during the summer. These 
birds were seen last on August 19, and no others were observed. 
72. (428) Archilochus  colubris. RUBY-THROATED JIUMMINGBIRD. 
—The writer did not see this species until August 27, and only a 
few times during migration. It is doubtful if any bred on the 
island this summer, although it was an abundant migrant in May, 
when the keepers saw thirty at one time about an apple tree in 
bloom. 
73. (444) Tyrannus tyrannus. iINesrry.—Kingbirds were found 
on the island on August 16, and no doubt bred there. They were 
common and were noted daily until September 5, but after the lat- 
ter date it was seldom seen. It was not observed at all between 
September 15 and 27, when the last record was secured. 
74. (452) Myiarehus crinitus. Crestep WLrycaAtTcHEeR—This spe- 
cies was also found on the island on August 17,, and no doubt 
nested there. Several were obseryed until August 19, after which 
date it was not seen. 
75. (456) Sayornis phoebe. PHoErBE.—The first record of the 
occurrence of the phoebe on the island was September 19. It was 
again observed on September 24, but only rarely between that date 
and October 8, which was the last time it was seen. 
76. (459) Nuttallornis boredlis. OtviyE-stppp WLrycatcHEr.—This 
flycatcher was first seen on August 18. It was not a common mi- 
grant, although several were noted previous to August 31—the last 
date upon which it was observed. It seemed to prefer the tops of 
old dead trees along the east beach. 
77. (461) Myiochanes virens. Woop Prwrr.—On August 17, the 
pewee was common on the island, and it was seen nearly every 
day until September 20. The last one was observed on the latter 
date. 
78. (463) Empidonar flaviventris, YeLLow-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. 
—The first record for this species was secured on August 29. After 
that date, it was common until September 6, when it left the
