Unusual Asseinblage of Swallows on the Meadow. 

 Concord, Mass. 



1893, Swallows were flying over the meadow at evening in unusu- 



July 3. al numbers. One swarm near Hunt's Pond contained fully sixty 

 birds and they were distributed sparingly over the entire 

 meadows. The bulk seemed to be Bank Swallows but there were 

 very many Barn Swallows, also, feeding broods of young perched 

 on dead branches over the river. '".Wiite-bellies were present 

 in small numbers and I heard Eave Swallows. There appeared 

 to be no Ivlartins and we saw only four or five Swifts.
