Cotile riparia. copy③ 1902. Maine Newry.- On September 9th while driving with Dr. Gehring from Bethel to Andover, we saw by the roadside near an old saw mill in Newry an immense mound of saw-dust in which were a number (I counted twenty-nine) of Sand Swallows' holes. The saw-dust had evidently been accumulating for many years and most of it was dark-colored through long exposure to the weather and closely compacted. On two sides of the mound it had been carted away from time to time leaving two vertical banks each about twelve or fifteen feet in length by four or five feet in height. The faces of these saw-dust banks were as smooth as those of any sand bank and much firmer. The Swallows' holes which were near the top were remarkably perfect in outline and of the usual depressed or elliptical shape O. I thrust my arm into one which had been enlarged, probably by boys, but I could not reach the end. // Nesting in a bank of saw-dust
