 Dowxv WOODPECKER. A common winter and summer resi- 

 dent.

 taken at East Windsor and Simsbury, Ct., (see Merriam's 

 Birds of Connecticut, page 64,) a pair at Westfield, (see 

 Allen's Rarer Birds of Massachusetts,) and also on Mt. 

 Nonotuck by Mr. William Street. 



402. Sphyrapicus varius (I/hm.). YELLOW-BELLIED

 mer visitor.

NORTHERN PILEATED WOODPECKER. A rare resident, found 

 in the well-wooded portion of the extreme western part of 

 Hampden county. Dr. J. A. Allen, in his "Rarer Birds of 

 Massachusetts," says that Mr. J. G. Scott informed him that 

 he had taken three specimens near Westfield, and that Dr. 

 Wood writes that one was killed at East Windsor about 1859.
