194 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



British Columbia. John Fannin. — Common summer 

 resident. March 20, 1885, only a few seen this year. 



Henshaw, 1879. Present along much of the eastern 

 slope. 



Hoffman. I noticed these birds along the banks of 

 the Humboldt River, north of Battle Mountain, during 

 the last days of May. 



Ridgway. Next to the cliff and white-bellied swal- 

 lows this was the most abundant species of the family. 

 Arrived at Carson April 15, 1868. 



Cooper, 1870. I saw them at Fort Mojave on the 22d 

 of February, but I have seen them at San Diego No- 

 vember 9 and January 27, so that if they do not winter 

 in the State they do not go far beyond it. 



Whidby Island, W. T. Lawrence Wessel. — April 2, 

 1885. 



Walla Walla, W. T. Dr. Williams.— -May 25, three 

 birds; again May 26; still present August 9, 1885. 



213. Clivicola riparia (Linn.) Bank Swallow. 



San Bernardino. F. Stephens. — Rare migrant through 

 the valley. 



Santa Cruz. Joseph Skirm. — Common summer resi- 

 dent. 



Santa Cruz. A. M. IngersoU. — I have collected the 

 eggs here. 



Newberry. Not uncommon throughout California. 

 We occasionally saw this and the next species occupy- 

 ing their characteristic burrows. We sometimes prob- 

 ably confounded them as they are only to be distin- 

 guished by careful inspection. 



Heermann. Abundant. (At Sacramento City?) 



Contra Costa and Alameda counties (precise localities 

 not named). W. E. Bryant. — Rare summer resident. 



Nicasio. C. A. Allen. — March 19, 1876.
