Mr. E. Hargitt on the Genus lyngipicus. 35 



Abbe David in 1863, I have no doubt it came from a more 

 southerly locality than the adult male and female P. canifrons 

 of Sundevall. As in /. scintilliceps and /. kaleensis speci- 

 mens occur possessing characteristics of both these races, so 

 it is to be expected that intermediate forms of /. scintilliceps 

 and /. doeri'iesi will occasionally be found. I therefore 

 consider Picus canifrons of Sundevall to be only a northerly 

 form of /. scintilliceps, and that the supposed adult male is a 

 variety of the species.
