An Early Record for the Barn Swallow in the San Francisco Bay Area.-An early spring occurrence of the Barn Swallow (Hivundo vustica) was recorded on February 29, 1948, on Bay Farm Island, Alameda, California, by Mr. D. H. Beeson of San Leandro. One adult male was observed. Subsequently, on March 6, the writer observed four birds there. To my knowledge, the February date constitutes one of the earliest records for this species in the San Francisco Bay area.- JAMES A. YOUNG, Alameda, California, March 17,1948.
