 Woodpeckers in its preference for patches of dense forest. 

 It is rather shy.

I again saw a very large number of these birds, apparently 

 on migration, on the Upper Lufira River, on November 24, 

 1907. This date is therefore thirteen days later aud the 

 locality some three hundred miles north-west of the obser- 

 vation made on the first expedition (Inc. cit. p. 51).
