mostly fed on sap. Several of them kept constantly in the bushes 
near the holes, and when the woodpecker was at one band the 
warblers used the others. The woodpecker chased them but 
could not possibly take care of all his holes. (In 1882 Dendroica 
coronata was seen, when the sap began to flow, run up and 
down tree trunks in company with Dry abates villosus and search 
after insects.) Late in May, when the sugar-maple sap ceased 
to flow, the woodpecker made a few holes in oaks and other 
trees, but the sap of these appeared not to suit its taste very 
well. 
74. CeopMceuS pileatus (Linn.). M. of $ shot October 11, 
1882. L. 462. W. 239. T. 167. Not noticed except in the Daily 
Beat, but often seen in the big pine grove 15 miles north of 
Shiocton. 
75. Melanerpes erythrocephalus (Linn.). XX At Shiocton 
the least numerous of the breeding woodpeckers. In 1882 
three, in 1883 only two, built on the road from the house to 
Shiocton. In 1882 a pair was seen May 12, and afterwards a 
few almost daily. Never seen in flock. May 16, the full sum¬ 
mer number. Not seen after October 1. In 1883, on the 
morning of May 8, three in company. Afterwards daily, but 
very few. 
76. Melanerpes carolinus (Linn.). Seen a few times in 
the G-reat Wood south of the railway in November and Decem¬ 
ber, 1882. It seems remarkable that this woodpecker, which 
is said to belong to the Carolinian fauna, appears so far north 
in winter. Willard has shot it at De Pere, April 24, 1877, and 
February 1, 1882. Cooke has not with certainty recognized it 
in Jefferson county. King has met with a single one in Sep¬ 
tember, 1876. 
77. Colaptes anratns (Linn.). XX M. of $ (2). L. 299- 
321. E. 467-512. W. 157. T. 126-129. Breeds in great 
numbers. Stands in this respect between Sphyrapicus varius 
and Dryobates pubescens. In 1882 the first was seen April 1. 
A few seen on the 7th, 10th and 17th. On the 18th many in 
the morning, still more in the afternoon. Afterwards daily. 
Autumnal migration begins about September 14. Great flocks 
from 18th till 25th. Several till October 6. On the 17th the
