402. Sphyraphicus varius {Linn.). 



Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. 



One specimen, received from Cedar Lake. I should suppose 

 them to be rare in that region, as I saw none myself, though I k 

 took some pains to collect a representative series of the Picidae. 



405. Ceophloerus pileatus {Linn.). Pileated Woodpecker. 



One specimen, 3; Grand Rapids, Oct. 26. The first killed 

 about that post for several years. Later in the season, I heard 

 the loud note of another, but failed to approach it successfully. 

 I killed three while in the Puget Sound country and found 

 them exceedingly wary.
