15. DENDROCOPUS. 257 



branch from the black malar stripe passing quite round the 

 posterior portion of the ear-coverts and joining the occiput. It is 

 also darker and browner below and more striated, and the flanks 

 and thighs are distinctly barred with dusky black. The present 

 species resembles (as might be expected) in coloration the more 

 southerly form of D. minor rather than typical Swedish birds. 

 Total length 5-3 inches, culmen 0-65, wing 3-4, tail 1-S5, tarsus 0*55 ; 

 toes (without claws) — outer anterior 0-35, outer posterior 0-45, inner 

 anterior 0'3, inner posterior 0*22. 



Adult female. Differs from the adult male in the absence of red 

 on the head, the crown, as well as the forehead, being huffy white. 

 Total length 5-2 inches, culmen 0-0, wing 3-3, tail I'So, tarsus 0-52. 



Hab. The Taurus range, Asia Minor, and extending into Turkey 

 and Greece.
