 let, and no maxillary patches. Length, 15-19 ; wing, 8|-10 ; tail, 6-7.

Not common resident in most parts of the State. The Pileated Wood- 

 pecker, Logcock, or Woodcock as sometimes erroneously called, was, forty 

 years since, a common bird in all parts of the State. Comparatively few 

 now remain in the western and especially northwestern portions, still 

 fewer in the hilly southern and eastern portions. In the vicinity of any 

 of our larger towns and cities it may be considered accidental. I have

The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is very properly included in his " Revised List" of Cin- 

 cinnati Birds, by Mr. Langdon, on the authority of Dr. Haymond, who states that they 

 were formerly found in Franklin county, Indiana, a locality not far from the western 

 boundary of Ohio. Doubtless they were once residents of this State, but in default of 

 any direct and positive evidence to that effect, they should not be admitted to our list.
