8 Dr. T. C. Jerdon's Supplement anj Notes 



162. YuNGiPicus RUBRiCATUS is P. semfcorona^MS, Mallierbe. 

 It extends to North Cachar. 



164. YuNGiPicus HARDWiCKi is said to be the same as P. 

 nanus, Vigors. 



164 bis. YuNGiPicus GYMNOPHTHALMUS, Blyth. The Ceylon 

 Pigmy Woodpecker. 



P. cinereigula, Malherbe. 



This Ceylon species occurs rarely in the extreme south of 

 Malabar and Travancore, and is the bird alluded to at the top 

 of page 279. 



Malherbe has also a P. meniscus from some part of India ; 

 and Svvinhoe has described P. scintilliceps, from Pekin, and P. 

 kaleensis, from Hainan. True P. moluccensis is from Lombok, 

 fid. Wallace, who describes the Malayan race as P. sondaicus. 



166. Chrysocolaptes sultaneus. 



It appears that Nepal specimens do differ from those of other 

 parts of India, being much larger, the wing measuring from 7 

 to 71 inches, tail 4|, bill 2\ at front. The race from Central 

 and Southern India will therefore stand distinct as C. delesserti, 

 Malherbe, according to Blyth ; but I apprehend that Tickell's 

 name of gutta-cristatus, though applied to the female, has the 

 priority. 



166Z>?s. Chrysocolaptes gutti-cristatus- 



Picus gutta-cristatus, Tickell. 



P. delesserti, Malherbe. 



P. strictus, Jerdon, Cat. 



C. sultaneus, Jerdon, Birds of India (partly). 



In this southern race the wing-coverts, the scapulars, and the 

 dorsal feathers have more golden red than in the larger Nepal one. 



P. strictus verus is from Java, and, though otherwise resem- 

 bling these two races, differs in the female having a yellow head 

 like the next species. The same difference distinguishes C. h<2- 

 matribon from C. stricklandi. 



167. Chrysocolaptes goexsis. 



This, it appears, should stand as C. festivus, after Bodduert, 

 P. humeralis, AVagler, being another synonym.
