Family Hirundinid@-THE SWALLOWS.
The birds of this family feed exclusively upon insects, which are captured on the wing. The num- ber of species known in North America is eight, of which the county has the Barn Swallow (Hirundo horreorum), the Cliff Swallow (H. lunifrons), the

HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY.
White-bellied Swallow (H. bicolor), and the Purple Martin (Progne purpuræ) are quite domestic where- ever accommodations are provided for them. They breed in boxes provided for them at Newport R. R. station, and seem as well contented as if they were in the wildest mountain cliff.
Family Bombycillid@-THE CEDAR BIRDS.
This family has but two known species in North America of which the Cedar Bird (Ampelis ce- drorum) is commonly met with in the county.
Family Liotrichidæ
has twenty-two known species of which the Mock- ing Bird (Mimus polyglottus), Red-winged Black- bird (Agelaius phoniceus), Meadow Lark (Sturnella magna), Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius), Baltimore Oriole, or Hanging Bird (I. baltimore), Rusty Black- bird (Scolecophagus), and the Crow Blackbird (Quis- colis versicolor), which flock together in hundreds near the season of migration, belong to Perry county.
Family Corvid@-THE CROWS.
The number of known species is twenty-two in North America, of which there are four in the county.
The American Raven (Corvus carnivorus) is said to exist as a single household among the Pisgah Hills of Carroll township. The Crows ( Corvus ameri- canus) are plenty, but are never seen in companies as in Lancaster county, except near the season of migration of other birds, when they are said to hold "camp-meetings," probably to get chestnuts,

HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY.
of which they are very fond. The Fish Crow (D. ossifragus) is common along the rivers. The Jay Bird (Cyaunrus cristatus) is a resident of the county.
ORDER IV .- RASORES-Family Columbidæ- THE PIGEONS.
This family has eleven known representatives in North America, of which but two are certainly known to ever have been found in the county. The Wild Pigeon (Ectopistes migrat ra) is a visitant spring and autumn. The Turtle Dove (Zendidura carolinensis) is frequent, and breeds in the county.
Family Thasianide-THE TURKEYS.
The Wild Turkey (Meleagris americana) is still found in large flocks on the Forge, Tuscarora and Conecocheague hills. They breed in the county.
Family Petraonida-THE GROUSE.
The Grouse family has twelve species in North America, and one in the county. The Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) is known in many locali- ties as the Pheasant. It is a very shy bird, and in consequence the number is not much diminished by the shooting of amateur sportsmen.
Family Perdicia@-THE PARTRIDGES.
There are seven known species in North America, of which Perry county has a single representative, the Partridge or "Bob White" (Ortyx virgianus).
ORDER V .- GRALLATORES-Family Ardeidæ.
There are thirteen species known in North America of this family, of which the Great Blue
181
HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY.
Heron (Ardea herodias) is found along the Susque- hanna, and occasionally seen near Millerstown dam, in the Juniata, and the Fly-up-the-creek (Bu- torides virescens), are the only ones that we could learn certainly ever visited the county.
Family Charodride-THE PLOVERS.
This family has eight species in North America, and one in the county, the Kill-deer Plover (Ægia- litis vociferus), which is frequently heard repeating its noted "kill-deer" as it soars on moonlight nights.
Family Scolopacide-THE SNIPES.
There are thirty-nine species in North America, and in the county the American Woodcock (Philo- hela minor), Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago wilsonii), which is seen in March and October, and Yellow Shanks (Gambetta melonoleuca).
ORDER VI .- NATATORES-Family Anatida.
There are fifty-four known species in North Ameri- ca. Those that belong to the county are the Black Duck(Anas obscura), the Summer Duck (Aix sponsa), the Black Head (Fulix marila), Ring-necked Duck (Fulix callaris), the Canvas-back Duck (Athya val- lisneria), Spirit Duck or Butterall ( Bucephala albe- ola) Long-tailed Duck (Harelda glacialis), abundant in autumn, and Fisher Duck (Mergus americanus).
Family Colymbidæ.
There are twelve known species in North America, of which the Loon (Colymbus torquatus) is common, spring and autumn. 8

HISTORY OF. PERRY COUNTY.
Reptilia -- REPTILES.
All the reptiles of the county may be included under two families.
ORDER I. - Chelonia -TURTLES.
The Land Tortoise or Box Turtle ( Testudo clau- sa) is frequently found; the Large River Terrapin (Ptychemys) is esteemed next in excellence to the Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) which is found in all our streams.
ORDER SAURIA-LIZARDS.
Fence Lizards (Tropidolepus undulatus) and the Five-striped Lizard (Scicus fasciatus) are the only known species within our borders.
ORDER OPHIDEA-SERPENTS-Family Rotalida.
The Rattle-snake ( Crotalus horridus); venomous . and unfrequently met with on mountain ridges. The Copperhead (Triconocephalus contortrix) is venemous, and seems to have been more than usually plenty this summer, 1872.
Family Columberide.
Black-snake-the Racer (Bascanon constrictor) not venomous. The Common Black-snake (Scotophis allighaniensis) is neither so slender nor so fleet as the Racer. It frequently gets to be of great size.
Two species of Water-snakes (Nerodia sipedon) and (N. fasciata) are harmless.
The Common and Swift Garter-snake (Entainia sirtalis) and (E. sauretia) are found near marshes where tadpoles live, upon which they feed.
183
HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY.
The Common House-snake (Ophibolus eximeus) is commonly known as the " Adder."
The Blowing Viper (Heterodon platyrhines), though it makes a great show of fight, unlike the true vi- per, which is a foreign species, is said to be entirely harmless.
The Ground or Worm-snake (Celuta amona) is rarely met with.
ORDER BATRACHIA-FROGS AND SALAMANDERS.
Family Ranidæ.
The Common Frog (Rana pipens) is distinguished from the others of his species by the common name "Bull-frog" and by dermal folds along the dorsal line. The Tree-frog (Hyla versicolor) is well known in the country as the herald of a storm. The Com- mon Toad (Bufo americanus) useful as a destroyer of insects in gardens.
The Ichthyology is represented by the Sturgeon, Trout, Shad, Catfish (Chatodon), Eels (Apoda), Salmon, Pike, Perch and Suckers.
