The Migration of the Swallows.— I have noticed for several years that 
before the young Swallows were capable of enduring a prolonged flight, 
old and young ' gathered together in one vast assembly and moved 
gradually southward, making short stages from farm to farm f at last (in 
1884, on August 9), with a favorable north wind and a clear sky, they left 
the Island in a body, only a few stragglers remaining, just enough to 
remind us that summer was still with us. — Francis Bain, North 
River , P. E. /. Auk, 2, April, 1886. p. z. f(o .
