 in the great chimneys of the Parliament buildings. Early in May 

 they begin to arrive and by the end of the month they congregate 

 in thousands and late in the evening begin to descend in a constant

 week of February, 1883, a chimney swift came down a chimney 

 in the house of Dr. J. F. Whiteaves, Assistant Director of the Geo-
