C. stricklandi, Layard, and Indopicus carlotta, Malherbe^ also 

 belong to this group, and not to Brachypternus, as erroneously 

 stated by myself (p. 298). The former is the species figured in 

 my 'Illustrations of Indian Ornithology^ as Picus ceylonus. 



168. MULLERIPICUS PULVERULENTUS. 



I saw a very fine specimen of this Woodpecker obtained by 

 Major Pinwill, H. M.'s 27th Regt., in the Terai of Kuraaon. 

 It may yet prove to be distinct from the Malay bird. The spe- 

 cies from Upper Pegu, alluded to by me (p. 285), has been 

 named M.feddeni by Blyth; but I believe it will be found to 

 be the species named Picus crawfurdi by Gray, and figured in 

 Griffith's edition of Cuvier's 'Animal Kingdom'*. It has been 

 named Thriponax jerdoni by Cabanis and Heine. 



170. Gecinus squamatus. 



I found this Woodpecker common in Kumaon, near Mussoree, 

 in the valley of the Sutlej, and in Kashmir. It is P. dimidiatus 

 of Gray in Hardvvicke's ' Illustrations.' 



171. Gecinus striolatus. 



This Woodpecker is very common in the subhimalayan 

 region, fi-om Kumaon to Kashmir, and also in all the low jungles 

 of the North-west Provinces and the Punjab. 



Another, Chinese race of Green Woodpecker not alluded to in 

 the text is G. tancola, Gould. 



173. Chrysophlegma flavinucha. 



The reference to Gould's ' Birds of Asia,' should be part i. 

 plate 6. The irides are brown in some individuals. It does not 

 appear to extend to the further N.W. Himalayas ; but I under- 

 stand that it has been procured in Kumaon. 



C. malaccensis, from the Malayan peninsula and Sumatra, 

 put as a synonym of C. miniata, of Java, is quite distinct. 



176. Venilia pyrrhotis. 



The wing of one measured lately was 5f inches, tail 3f, foot
