NoTK. The eggs of all the above birds form a nearly or quite 

 complete collection of the birds' eggs of Massachusetts. The 

 Pine Finches and Snow Buntings have been known to breed 

 (altogether exceptionally) at Cambridge and near Springfield 

 respectively ; several birds, such as the Bald P]agles and Pil- 

 eated Woodpeckers, have been so far driven from the State, as 

 probably to breed here no longer. In regard to the dates 



t^ Confined in summer to Western Massachusetts.
