Decrease of Birds in Mass. J.A.. All«tt 
That the Pileated Woodpecker (Hylotomus pileatus ) was once a 
common inhabitant of all the primitive forests of this State seems 
to be unquestionable, though absolute proof of the fact may not be 
available. It still occurs in abundance throughout the older States, 
wherever the forests remain comparatively undisturbed, while it is 
well known to quickly retire where its haunts are invaded by the 
destroying axe of the woodsman. jq^Q, Sept, 18 6. p, 4*3 .
