Suborder ALCYONES. 

 Family ALCEDINID^E. 



CERYLE ALCYON (Linnaeus). 

 BELTED KINGFISHER. 



I found the Belted Kingfisher rather common about Dockton, 

 Washington, and about Union Bay, Vancouver Island, at the time 

 <>f my visit. 



Order PI CI. 



Family 1TC1D.E. 



PICUS MARTIUS (Linnaeus . 

 GREAT BLACK WOODPECKER. KTTMAGERA. 



Dryocopus martins reichenouri Kothe, Orn. Mbnateb., June, L906, p. 95. 



I saw a single specimen of this handsome and striking species near 

 the town of Korsakoff, Sakhalin. 



Kothe has he-towed a subspecific name upon this bird in the 

 eastern pari ofits range; hut aspecimen in t he U. S. National Museum 

 taken by Doctor Stejneger at Cape Patience, Sakhalin, agrees per- 

 fectly with examples from Europe. Mr. Buturlin, in a recent study 

 of this species, has also come to the conclusion that there is no 

 recognizable eastern form. 



DRYOBATES VILLOSUS HARRISII ( Audubon). 

 HARRIS' WOODPECKER. 



This woodpecker was rather common about Dockton, Washington, 

 and Union Bay, Vancouver Island. Specimens secured are typical 



of t he race. 



DRYOBATES PUBESCENS GAIRDNERII < Audubon). 

 GAIRDNERS WOODPECKER. 



Gairdner's Woodpecker was common about Dockton, Washington, 

 principally in clearings in which were scattered dead trees. 



COLAPTES AURATUS LUTEUS (Bangs). 

 NORTHERN FLICKER. 



The National Museum collection contains a Flicker which was cap- 

 tured on St . ( reorges Island, Pribiloff group, in the autumn of 1<)04 by 

 James Judge. In a letter dated October 5, 1904, he mentions the 

 bird as "recentlj shot." This appears to be the first record of this 

 species for the Bering Sea islands. 



COLAPTES CAFER SATURATIOR (Ridgway). 

 NORTHWESTERN FLICKER. 



The Northwestern Flicker was common at Dockton, Washington, 

 and at Union Bay, Vancouver Island. A. female secured at the latter 

 locality i- t.\ pical of the form.
