196 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol 86 



A pair of birds from western Lincoln County 6 miles east of 

 Frankewing (male, wing 119.8, female 116.8), taken November 5 and 

 6, in size and in the considerable extent of white on the back are of 

 the northern type, as are two males (wing 120.3 and 119.3 mm) 

 secured by W. H. Fox at Rockwood on March 9 and 28, 1885. A 

 male collected at 1,900 feet elevation in the Clinch Mountains 3 miles 

 northwest of Rutledge on October 1 (in molt so that the wing appar- 

 rently is not quite grown) also belongs here, with a wing measure- 

 ment of 118.5 mm. Specimens from the higher elevations in the 

 eastern mountains are definitely of the northern race. A male (wing 

 120.1) was taken at Shady Valley June 7. Birds secured at eleva- 

 tions of 5,000 ieet or more on Roan Mountain on September 20 to 23 

 are in molt, so that the wing is not grown but affords sufficiently 

 large measurements to indicate that they are true vlUosus. In the 

 Great Smoky Mountains a male (wing 118) was taken at 6,300 feet 

 on Old Black Mountain on June 21, one (wing 122) at 2,700 feet 4 

 miles southeast of Cosby on June 23, and one (wing 118) at 6,500 

 feet on Mount Guyot on June 26. 



Birds of the year, fully grown, were taken at Reel foot Lake on 

 May 7, at 3,000 feet elevation 7 miles north of Carter on June 7, near 

 Cosby on June 23, at 5,700 feet elevation on Inadu Knob on June 24, 

 and at 6,000 feet elevation on Old Black Mountain on June 24, the 

 last three being in the Great Smoky Mountains. One of the juvenile 

 females has the center of the crown definitely spotted with white and 

 with elongated marks of red; another has four or five of the elongated 

 red markings only ; and in a third markings are absent. 



DRYOBATES VILLOSUS AUDUBONI (Swainson): Southern Hairy 



Woodpecker 



The southern race of the hairj' woodpecker has a range uncertainly 

 delimited at present in the southern section of the State. A female 

 taken at Bartlett on April 19 has a wing measurement of 112.8 mm; 

 a juvenile female not fully grown taken on May 14, 8 mile.s north of 

 Waynesboro, is identified tentatively as auduboni. Adult material is 

 necessary to check this allocation. A pair secured on May 27 on 

 Birds Creek 7 miles southwest of Crossville measure as follows: 

 Wing, in male 111.0, in female 112 nun. The three adults just men- 

 tioned have the wings considerably worn, but after careful examina- 

 tion it does not appear to me that enough of the end of the wing is 

 gone to permit their being viUosm. I have examined with particular 

 care the two from Crossville, since March birds from Rockwood a 

 short distance east are the northern bird. A juvenile female with 

 unmarked crown was taken also with the adults from near Crossville. 

 The southern bird is also the form of Big Frog Mountain in Polk 

 County, as indicated by two s])ecimens secured 8 miles southwest of
