380 Mr. C. W. Wyatt on the 



numbers of four or five. Face yellow and blue; iris brown. 

 Altitude 7000 feet. 



• 168. AULACORHAMPHUS ALBIVITTA. 



Apparently not uncommon in the forest near Alto ; and we 

 shot it on one occasion near Portrerras. Altitude 5000- 

 7000 feet. Iris dark brown. 



• 169. Campephilus malherbi. 



Naranjo was a famous place for Woodpeckers. During the 

 two days we were there we obtained three species, none of which 

 had we met with before. The forest, just round the village, was 

 being burnt and cleared ; but large trees were still left standing 

 here and there, naked and charred, and these were the favourite 

 resort of the " Carpinteros," as the people call Woodpeckers. 

 We did not happen to shoot a female of C. vialherbi, so cannot 

 say whether, like its congener C. grayi of the higher mountain- 

 regions, the male only wears the red crest; but we certainly 

 never saw a Woodpecker while at Nariinjo without a red crest. 

 Iris straw-colour. 



170. Campephilus gkayi. 



Only met with at Portrerras. Male. Red crest. Female. 

 Black crest. Iris orange. Altitude 7000 feet. 



171. Dkyocopus lineatus. 



When seen alive in the forest, this species can hardly be dis- 

 tinguished, unless one is very close, from Campephilus malherbi. 

 Iris white. Naranjo. 

 . 172. Chloronerpis rubiginosus. 



This pretty Woodpecker we obtained at Ilerradura, and met with 

 it occasionally in various localities between Ocafia and Bucara- 

 manga. In the male the red extends over the eye : the cheek 

 also is red. 



*173. Melanerpes pulcher. 



Naranjo is probably the limit of this species upwards. We 

 only met with it between that place and the Magdalena. At 



* [Melanebpes pulcheb, Scl. P. Z. S. 1870, p. 330. 

 This Woodpecker has only recently been described by Sclater, from 

 Bogota skins. Mr. Wyatt's specimens show that the yellow nape, which
