*116. Pious villosus, e. harrisi, Aud. — Harris's Woodpecker. 



This is a common summer resident of Big Trees. It is also numerous 

 at Soda Springs and Summit Meadows in the fall. I have seen it at 

 Murphy's in winter, but not in summer. It breeds but little below Big 

 Trees. I have not seen it in summer below an altitude of 3,500 feet, 

 nor have I ever seen it at Stockton or MarysviUe. 



117. Pious pubesoens, Liun. — Downy Woodpecker. 



xi single individual of this species was shot at MarysAille, as below 

 recorded.

*117 a. Pious pubesoens,/?. gairdneri, Aud. — Gairdmr's Woodpecker. 



This bird was abundant in the willows at IVIarysville in the winter of 

 1877-78, and was often seen at the same place the following June. 



It appears to be generally distributed in the pine forest, but I have 

 not found it abundant nor even scarcely common.

*118. Pious nuttalli, Gamb. — NuttaU's Woodpecker. 



This is a common constant resident at Stockton, Murphy's, and 

 MarysviUe. I have not recognized it in the pine forests. One seen at 

 MarysviUe in June was red from bUl to naiie. It was too near to shoot.t 

 The iris of all I shot at MarysvUle was dark blood-red.
