sas, where it breeds. I found it breeding in the mountains of Arizona, 

 where it arrives late in April, and remains through the greater part of 

 September. Dr. Heermann records its breeding in Texas ; Mr. Allen 

 notes its occurrence, in summer, in different parts of the west ; Drs. 

 Cooper and Suckley found it from May to August near the Columbia 

 River. These records, joined with those we have from the Eastern 

 States, show that the species, like other Swallows, has a breeding range 

 about co-exteasive with its dispersion in the United States. In some 

 places it is stated to burrow, like the Bank Swallow, in soft earth; 

 elsewhere it has been found breeding about the piers and abutments of 

 bridges, &c.
