 to the island.

There appear to be two or three races of Great S])otted Woodpeckers in China 

 (and Hainan) — a largest one in the North, an intermediate one in Middle and South 

 China, and a smallest one in Hainan ; but the intermediate form appears to be so 

 variable — some examples agreeing with northern, others with southern birds — that 

 I do not venture to separate these forms at present.
