[Bulletin of the Bird Club of Princeton University. Vol. i. Xo. 1. 
September 1901.] 
The first number of the Bulletin of the Bird-Club of 
Princeton University is appropriately devoted to a list of 
the birds of the vicinitv, which is defined as a circular area 
of about eight miles radius around the town. The list con- 
tains the names of 253 species, with short remarks added 
to each of them. The '^ permanent residents " in this part 
of Hew Jersey are only 31, whereas the summer residents, 
which come from the south to breed, are 70. We remark 
that the House- Sparrow is noted as " abundant as ever/' 
and as having lately taken to driving away the Rough-winged 
Swallow (Stelgidopteryx serrijjennis) by seizing on its 
nesting-places.
