Picoides americanus. Banded Three-toed Woodpecker. — 
This is also a resident species, but is much less common than the 
foregoing. For an account of its nesting and a description of its 
eggs see the last Bulletin (Vol. Ill, No. 4, October, 1878, p. 200).

Notes from Chateaugay Lake, New York. — During a collecting trip 
to Chateaugay Lake, Northern Adirondacks, last autumn (Aug. 24 to 
Sept. 7, 1897) I secured with Mr. G. C. Shattuck, a pair of American 
Three-toed Woodpeckers ( . Picoides americanus '), a species not very 
uncommon about the lake. One specimen of the Wood Thrush ( Turdus 
mustelinus ) was also taken. Mr. Shattuck had in previous years taken 
specimens. This bird was generally found in company with Hermits and 
Swainson’s Thrushes behind the camp where the waste food was thrown. 
Its occurrence there seems to show that it is found along the western as 
well as eastern shores of Lake Champlain. Early during my stay I was 
pretty sure I caught a glimpse of a Philadelphia Vireo (Vireo philadel- 
fihicus), and after I left Mr. Shattuck secured a specimen.— Reginald
