The Rough-winged Swallow breeding in Connecticut, and other 
Notes. — On June 17, 1900, I secured a male Rough-winged Swallow 
(1 Stelgidopteryx serripennis) which was flying about a little brackish pond 
by the Thames River, near Gales Ferry. Later, on June 23, I found in 
a neighboring railroad embankment two nests of this species. Both 
were dug into the bank about an arm’s length and just under the over- 
hanging sods and roots. One of the nests, which I examined carefully, 
contained five pin-feather covered young. The parents were seen cir- 
cling nervously about, all four being present, which led me to believe 
another nest must be in the vicinity, which I failed to discover.
