Petrochelidon lunifrous 
Lake Umbagog, Maine 
1895 
But the most interesting sight was that of a flock of at 
Sept.5. least seventy or eighty Swallows which were skimming about 
over the open marshes. I detected one Bank Swallow and three 
or four Barn Swallows among them but practically the whole 
swarm was made up of Eave Swallows. Faxon tells me that this 
species has been unusually abundant in Mass, this year. It 
would seem to have increased greatly here as well for I never 
saw anything ifcike so many about Umbagog before and I have rare¬ 
ly seen it at all so late in the season.
