Length of wing in three males 146 mm., in one 147 mm. 

 and in still another 145 mm.; and in the female 144 mm. 



Comparing these specimens with Swedish specimens, some 

 at least of the latter appear to have the white of the back 

 extending higher up than in the former. On the other hand, 

 the Saghalin birds seem to have the red of the lower side ex- 

 tending farther foreward and the red of the crown to be more 

 extensive. However, all these characters are rather vague. 



The length of culmen measured of four male specimens is 

 36, 38, 39 and 43 mm.; in the female it is 35 mm. 



The young, not yet Hedged bird has the upper parts of head 

 black witli narrow yellowish-red tips to the feathers. 



This w^ood])ecker was not found in Saghalin by Nikolski.
