188 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



Stockton. L. B. — March 9, 1879, first; one only. The 

 weather became cool on this day and no more were seen 

 until the 20th. I saw two about a barn near Stockton, 

 March 13, 1885. It is at least common in Central Cali- 

 fornia up to about 3,000 feet, a few breeding about dwell- 

 ings above that height. It leaves Central California 

 from October 1st to 15th. 



Soquel (near Santa Cruz). W. 0. Emerson. — Septem- 

 ber 14, 1884, nest with young half fledged. 



Marysville. W. F. Peacock. — Common summer resi- 

 dent. March 27, 1884, first; April 8, bulk arrived. In 

 1885, six birds arrived April 5; common April 11. 



Sebastopol. F. H. Holmes. — Common summer resi- 

 dent. Arrived March 22; common April 12, 1885. 



Beaverton, Or. A. W. Anthony.— May 2, 1884, first, 

 and occasionally afterward. The only one seen in 1885 

 was on May 12. 



Walla Walla. — Dr. Williams. — Breeds; arrived May 

 20; ten specimens; common May 30, 1885. 



Cooper. Seems to be limited by the Columbia River. 

 as I have seen none at Puget Sound or more northern 

 places. 



British Columbia. John Fannin. — Abundant summer 

 resident. 



Burrard Inlet. First seen March 10, one male; com- 

 mon April 2, 1885. 



Camp Harney. Bendire. — A few pairs breed about 

 the buildings of the Post. They arrive about the same 

 time (May 1), but remain much longer than the cliff 

 swallow which leaves about the middle of August. 



Hoffman. I noticedthese birds north of Battle Moun- 

 tain during the last days of May. 



Ridgway. Although inhabiting the same localities as 

 the cliff swallow, everywhere much less numerous. Sev- 

 eral nests were found in caverns on the eastern side of 

 Ruby Mountains. It arrived at Carson, April 8, 1868.
