Ceophloeus pileatus. Lake Umbagos, Maine. 1897. Watrous found a Pileated Woodpecker's nest in an ash stub May 26. in the cove between Moll's Rock and Moll's Carry. The ♀ came out when he rapped on the tree and flew to a neighboring stub where she called a few times bringing the ♂ who at once flew to and entered the hole where W. left him. May 27. Although the wind was north west the whole day rain fell continuously and heavily from daylight to late into the night. Indeed it was one of the heaviest storms of this exceptionally wet season. May 28. Four of us started for the Outlet at 9 A.M. (though show- er succeeded shower from 10 A.M. during the remainder of the day). On reaching the Outlet, Watrous took us to the nest of the Pileated Woodpecker which he found on the 26th. It is in the flooded forest of dead trees nearly opposite the mouth of the Megalloway and about 40 yards back from the south bank of the Androscoggin. The tree is an old and much-decayed brown ash about 15 inches through at the base, branchless and almost wholly denuded of bark. The entrance hole is on the N.E. side of the stub about 20 ft. above the water which, at present, is some 5 ft. in depth. The hole is somewhat irregular in shape the lower left-hand corner having a large nick. It looks as if it may have been excavated last year but of this I am not 65
