120 REVIEW OF JAPANESE BIRDS. 



The Kamtscbatkan D. immaculatus,* characterized bj' its larger size 

 and its excessive whiteness, the whole under surface being pure and 

 unspotted white, and the outer tail-feathers likewise white and nearly 

 unspotted, has not been observed in Japan, unless it be a specimen 

 which, according to Mr. Blakiston's manuscript notes, was collected by 

 Mr. Fukushi at Sapporo in December. It is said to be a $ measuriuu 

 IgQmm jij total length, with a wing measuring 97'"'", consequently in sizi 

 agreeing pretty well with the type of I), immaculatus.

Yungipicus seems to me to deserve generic recognition. It differs 

 materially from Dryohates, especially in the form of the bill and feet. 

 The former is much less angular, narrower, and barely straight ; the 

 gonys is decidedly rounded, and not keeled ; and the tarsi and toes are 

 proportionally longer and slenderer.

Mr. Hargitt has recently divided the Pygmy Woodpecker of Japan 

 into a southern form, the typical Y. kiznli, and a northern one, distin- 

 guished by being generally paler and having the white markings broader 

 and larger ; the latter is his Y. seebohmi. 



The habitat of these two forms is presumed to be Kiusiu for Y. ILul'i, 

 and Hondo-Yesso for Y. seebohmi (cf. Blakiston, A. L. B. J., pp. 45, 

 46), and Mr. Blakiston expresses some surprise at finding the bird from 

 the Main Island (Hondo) identical with the Yesso bird, and different 

 from the Kiusiu form, a state of affairs which would be nearly unique 

 among Japanese birds. A close examination of my material leads me 

 to quite different conclusions. In order to tind out the true habitat of 

 a Woodpecker it is necessary to ascertain where it breeds, or, reversely,
