10 TuELON on the Birds of Bradford^ Penii. 



58. Empidonax minimus. — Common. A nest with four 

 fresh eggs was taken June 16. 



59. Ceryle alcyon. — Have seen this species but once. 

 This was in July, about five or six miles up the west branch, 

 where a dam had formed a small pond. 



60. Antrostomus vociferus. — Eeported from Little 

 Boyd. Have not seen it myself. 



61. Chordeiles popetue. — Common. 



62. Centura pelasgica. — I have this species in my list 

 but may be mistaken. I do not think it common. 



63. Trochilus colubris. — Common (June 11, and Sep- 

 tember 10). 



[CoccYGUS ? One day this spring I saw a cuckoo, but 

 whether the Yellow or Black-billed I cannot say. Think 

 it comparatively rare as 1 should probably have seen it in 

 some of my wanderings.] 



64. Picus viLLOSUS. — Not very common. More plenty 

 in fall. Have seen it from April 2 to 24, and from Novem- 

 ber 4 to 6. 



65. Picus pubescens. — Common resident. Much more 

 common than the preceding. I saw several April 15, 1881. 

 They appeared to be mating although the snow in the thick 

 hemlock woods was in places waist deep. 



66. Sphyropicus varius. — Very common summer resi- 

 dent. Indeed it appears to be the most numerous of the 

 woodpeckers. April 16 is the earliest date I have for their 

 arrival. 



67. Melanerpes erythrocephalus. — In the fall of 1881 

 and the spring of 1882 this species was very common in 

 one locality. In the fall of 1881 I found them near a clear- 

 ing gathering beech-nuts. I sent a communication to the 

 '^Forest and Stream" to that effect under the pseudonym of 

 "Sialia." I was told that they remained during mild winters.
