138 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



Of this Woodpecker, I have found no description nor figure which seemed to 

 approach it, except Picus andatus of authors figured by Edwards, pi. 332. It is 

 nearly the size and of the same general colors as that species, but instead of 

 two patches of red on the cheeks as described and figured in P. undatus, the 

 present bird has a single large patch completely enclosing a space on the 

 throat around the base of the lower mandible, similar to that in the common 

 Picus varius of the United States. This character I cannot trace in any other 

 species of this genus. 



This bird belongs to the same subgeneric group as Celeus rufus, which seems 

 to have no name, though readily defined.
