Slrds), and Mr. G. N. Lawrence* mentions one in his collection, 

 taken near Hoboken, N. J. There is also a specimen in the col- 

 lection of the Philadelphia Academy, shot near Philadelphia, in 1861, 

 by Mr. Wm. AYood. 



189. SjyJtyrajyicus varins (Linn.). Yellow-bellied Sap- 



sucker. 



Breeding Range — Northern U. S. northward, and southward through 



the Alleghanies. 

 Winter Distribution — Potomac valley south to West Indies and 

 Mexico. Occasionally farther north. 



Common transient visitant and occasional winter resident. Occurs 

 In spring, March 15-April 12, and once recorded as late as May 10. 

 (1884. — W. L. Baily.) In fall it occurs September 10-October 20. 



Along the Alleghanies and probably also in northern New Jersey, 

 the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a summer resident and has already 

 been recorded as breeding in Cumberland and Sullivan counties, Pa. 

 ( Warren s Report), and at Harvey's Lake, Luzerne county (Sfone, 

 Proc. A.N. S. Phila., 1891), while Mr. Dwight found a few on 

 North Mountain {Auk, 1892). 



190. Ceoxyh1ceuspileatus{L\^^.). Pileated Woodpecker. 



Breeding Range — Forest regions throughout X. A. 

 Winter Distribution — Same. 



Very rare straggler in south-eastern Pennsylvania and New 

 Jersey. The only specimens that have come under our notice se- 

 cured southeast of the mountain forests during the pa^st fifteen years, 

 are as follows : 



Cape May Co., N. J., Nov. T, 1878, W. L. Abbott, M. D.f 

 Cape May Co., N. J., Dec. 31, 1879, W. L. Abbott, M. D.f 

 Englewood, N. J., Sept., 1885, Jacob Ullrich {Chapman— Auk, 1888). 



A few may possibly still breed in the dense swamps of southern 

 New Jersey. 



In the vicinity of Harvey's Lake, Luzerne courty. Pa., ihe 

 Pileated Woodpecker was rather common during June, 1891, and it 

 is probably still plentiful wherever the forests remain.
