Chordiles texensis Lawr.—Texas N'ighthairl: As common as at Hidalgo the previous season, and is the only Night- hawk of the locality so far as I could learn. In its llight it resembles the Whippoorwill. It does not indulge in the perpendicular descents accompanied by the grating whirr of the wings, so characteristic of C. mrginiamis, Common Nighthawk. It prefers to rest by day in open wood- land rather than in dark woods. At all hours in the evening and during moonlight nights it is heard. I obtained many sets of eggs. Found first egg April 26.
