Journey through Colombia and Ecuador. 209 



Fam. PiciDiE. 



435. PiCUMNUS GRANADENSIS (Laf r.) . 



One male from the forests of Santo Domingo. 



436. Campophilus melanoleucus (Gm.). 



A pair from the Coca, Rio Napo. We constantly heard 

 the loud rapping of these birds reverberate through the forests, 

 but could seldom get a shot at them, for the trees were very- 

 high, and they always kept out of sight by running to the 

 other side of the trunk. They accompany their rapping with 

 a loud harsh note, to be heard a long distance off. 



437. Campophilus pollens (Bp.). 



Three males and two females from the western side of 

 Ecuador. We found them on the more open parts of the 

 forest-covered mountain-sides at altitudes of from about 5000 

 to 7000 feet. They were rather numerous at Canyacota in 

 September. 



438. Campophilus guayaquilensis (Less.). 



Two males from Santo Domingo. A pair of these Wood- 

 peckers bred in October in the trunk of a tall dead tree 

 standing in the clearing near our hut. 



439. Chloronerpes fumigatus (Lafr. & d'Orb.). 



A male and a female from the western side of Pichincha. 



440. Chloronerpes cecilIjE (Malh.). 



A female from Baeza, Eastern Ecuador, is apparently of 

 this species. 



441. Chloronerpes nigriceps (Lafr. & d'Orb.). 



A good series from Intag and Baeza, Western and Eastern 

 Ecuador. 



442. Chloronerpes dignus Scl. & Salv. 

 A female from Baeza, Eastern Ecuador. 



443. Melanerpes cruentatus (Bodd.). 



A male and two females from the Rio Suno, Upper Rio 

 Napo. All the three specimens were shot on decayed tree- 

 trunks lying on the ground in a small Indian clearing. The
