4J0 Mr. C. F. M. Swynnerton on the 



186. Campothera abingdoni. Golden-tailed Wood- 

 pecker. 



Chindao: ^'Chinyamdododza." Singuni: "Isiqop^umuti." 

 (Both these names are applied to Woodpeckers in general.) 



Rh. I have several times come across this Woodpecker in 

 Chirinda and Chipete during the past year, while Odendaal 

 has recently sent me two females from the same locality, 

 dated June 6th and August 19th, and measuring 7*95 and 

 8'65 inches, respectively, in the flesh. 



187. Campothera bennetti. Bennett's Woodpecker. 

 E,h., P, I noted this Woodpecker once ar twice on the 



Kunimadzi in August on large isolated trees in the grass- 

 jungle. In an immature bird the irides were dark brown 

 instead of deep crimson and the dark grey bill had a white 

 tip to the upper mandible. A female measured 8'5 inches in 

 the flesh. 



188. Campothera fuelleborni Neum. Fiilleborn's 

 Woodpecker. 



Dendromus malherbei filllehorni Neum. J. f. O. 1900, p. 204. 



llh. I recently received a skin of this Woodpecker shot 

 by Odendaal near Chirinda on August 29th, 1907. It was a 

 male and measured 7'55 inches in the flesh. "^ Upper 

 mandible very deep sepia-coloured, lower pale leaden-grey 

 with darker point ; iris light umber; feet pale olive." This 

 is, so far as I am aware, tlie southernmost record for this 

 species.

 Dendropicus zanzibari Malh.; Hargitt, Cat. B. M. xviii. 



p. 297. 



Rh., P. I shot a female of this bird on the Kurumadzi 

 on the 10th of August, 1906. In the lowlands I found it 

 common in December and January at Chibabava, while I also 

 met with it on the Umtefu, again between that river and 

 Chimbuya, and three times between Gezanye and Bimba. 

 Two males measured 6*05 and 6*1 inches in the flesh and a 

 female 6*5 inches. I find that only one of my specimens (from 

 Salisbury in Mashonaland) is typical D. cardinalis, without
