241. Antrostomus vociferus. Whip-poor-will. 



Migrant through the eastern half of the State, west to Waco and San 

 Antonio, reported rare from both localities. 



242. Antrostomus vociferus macromystax. Stephen's Whip-poor-will. 



Common in the Chisos Mountains and noted also in the Gaudalupe 

 range. (Oberholser, The Auk, XX, p. 300.) 



243. Phalaenoptilus nuttallii. Poor-will. 



The Texan range of this subspecies is very imperfectly known. 

 Attwater records it as a common summer resident in the vicin- 

 nity of San Antonio. Cooke records it from Mason and San 

 Angelo. Butcher observed it at Laredo from September to Feb- 

 ruary. 



244. Phalaenoptilus nuttallii nitidus. Frosted Poor-will. 



Western Texas, east during the migrations to San Antonio. The types 

 were from Neuces River bottoms. 



245. Nyctidromus albicollis merrillii. Paraque. 



Lower Rio Grande (Cameron and Hidalgo counties) and coast prairie 

 north to Refugio county where it is rare. Summer resident. 



246. Ghordeiles virginianus. Nighthawk. 



Eastern section of the State during the migrations. iSummer resident 

 of the extreme northeastern section. Recorded as a migrant at San 

 Antonio. 



247. Ghordeiles virginianus chapmani. Florida Nighthawk. 



Coast region from Jefferson to Corpus Christi, summer resident. 



248. Ghordeiles virginianus henryi. Western Nighthawk. 



Abundant migrant and common summer resident as far east as Waco 

 and San Antonio. Carroll's records of this species from Refugio 

 county are not altogether reUable as birds from that locality, collected 

 by the writer, are clearly referable to chapmani. 



249. Ghordeiles scutipennis texensis. Texan Nighthawk. 



Southern and Western Texas. North in the coast prairie re- 

 gion to Bee and Refugio counties. Common on the Lower Rio 

 Grande and west of the Pecos. Rachford's record of the breed- 

 ing of this species at Jefferson, Texas, (Davie, "Nests and Eggs of 

 North American Birds," fifth edition, p. 287) I do not consider 

 reliable.
