[Sylvania canadensis. - Mr. Bangs has found this species
in summer in an extensive white pine swamp bordering
a cold trout stream. We visited this swamp on the 13th
but failed to find any Canadian Warblers. I have no
doubt they breed there, however, for the swamp is full
of sphagnum covered mounds.]
  19. Vireo olivaceous. - Common and very generally distributed.
 Vireo novaboracensis. - Mr. Bangs has found a few pairs.
I remember having a male singing in a swamp not far from
Wareham during my visit in June 1894.
  20. Ampelis cedrorum. - Common especially in pitch pine
woods near the reservoir where we found one or two
nests in 1894.
  21. Progne purpurea. - Two small colonies in the
village of Wareham.
  22. Hirundo erythrogaster. - Very common. A dozen pairs
or more were nesting in a barn cellar at the 
Bang's where there were also additional nests under
the roof of an open shed.
  23. Tachycineta bicolor. - A colony of upwards of 100 pairs
were breeding in a forest of stubs in the Reservoir
and eight or ten more nests were seen by us in dead
trees along the course of the brook below. We saw
two occupied nests in one short stub. Two or three pairs
were also breeding in bird houses on poles at the Bangs'.
