Ceophlceus pileatus in Franklin County, Massachusetts. — During the 
month of August, 1886, two Pileated Woodpeckers were shot at Ashfield, 
Franklin Co., Mass. ; and on October 7 of the same year a third, which 
I have, was shot. It is a male, but in not very good plumage, as it was 
moulting at the time it was shot.— Richard Norton, Cambridge , Mass.

Ceophlceus pileatus.— Resident, but not common. Mr. Bailey sees only 
two or three pairs each season but thinks that there are more in Win- 
chendon than in any of the neighboring towns. About the middle of 
June 1887, one of his friends met with a brood of young in the woods. I 
did not find the bird during either visit, but its unmistakable mortise- 
shaoed ‘ peck holes ’ were frequently observed.
