Auk, XII, April, 1895, P* /54 \ 
The Rough-winged Swallow ( Stelgidopteryx sernpennis) and Iree 
Swallows ( Tachycineta bicolor') Wintering in South Carolina. — I shot 
a male Rough-winged Swallow on the morning of December 22, 1894, 
which had been in the neighborhood for over a month, and which had 
roosted in' a barn since November. I also shot two Tree Swallows on 
January 4, 1895. The weather was intensely cold between these dates, 
the thermometer registering as low as 8° above zero. It is not unusual 
to see hundreds of Tree Swallows on mild days in January and February, 
but it is certainly surprising to find them braving a temperature of 8 
to io° above zero. The Tree Swallows had their throats stuffed with 
myrtle berries, which they subsist upon in the fall and winter months. 
Arthur T. Wayne, Mount Pleasant , 5 1 . C. 
Am ar. Naturalist* Vol, 10 a / Robert Ridgway here 
states that the Bank Swallows (p. 493) referred to in the June number are 
the Gotyle serripennis, instead of G. riparia, as first stated.
