BLACK-CROWNED GREEN WOODPECKER; 



Another species of green woodpecker is seen on this 

 Coast, of which Mr. Blyth writes : " This species is about 

 ten or eleven inches in length, dusky-green above, with a 

 shade of yellow on the lower part of the back ; cinereous 

 or slightly ferruginous below, mixed with brown on the 

 abdomen. Quill-feathers brown, spotted with white. Tail- 

 feathers brown, pointed as usual in this genus ; the two 

 uppermost with a few light-coloured spots along their in- 

 ner margin. A gray patch encircles the eyes, bounded 

 below by a black stripe mixed with white spots, which 

 runs from behind the lower mandible. In the male the 

 crown of the head is red, often variegated with black, 

 each feather being black at the base and red at the tip ; 

 in the female it is entirely black.
