this species, but no birds were seen there on June 4. At Bouchie
Lake approximately 20 hunted insects low over the lake on the morn-
ing of June 7, a cloudy and windy day, and in the afternoon five
were together in a dead bush by the shore. The only other record
is for a single bird at Toboggan Lake on July 13

Barn Swallow--Hirundo rustica (Linnaeus).

Common and nesting at most of the places visited. First seen
at Tiltzarone Lake on May 17, and the last record was made at the
same place on August 31. During the first week in August a popula-
tion nesting on the rafters under a bridge that crosses the narrows
of Burns Lake hadnests with eggs and others with young ranging in
age from some newly hatched to some about ready to fly. This bridge
was being repaired at that time under the direction of Mr. J. Sugden
who told me that when a number of nests were moved to other situa-
tions under the bridge, in order to prevent them being destroyed,
the parents quickly became accustomed to the changed situation and
continued feeding the young. At this time also another population
under the wharf at Southbank, Francois Lake, was feeding young

Cliff Swallow-~Petrochelidon pyrrhonata (Viellot}.

Common and widely distributed, the first seen on May 6 at

so late as July 4, and small nesting colonies were noted at numer-
ous other places as far west as Hazelton
