DESCRIPTION OF A NEW WOODPECKER FROM PERU. 
BY OUTRAM BANGS AND G. K. NOBLE. 
Tue following description of a new woodpecker, taken in 
northwestern Peru by the junior author, is published in advance 
of a paper dealing with the collection of birds that he made in 
that region. This is done at the request of Mr. C. B. Cory, to 
enable him to embody it in the next part of his ‘Catalogue of 
Birds of the Americas,’ due to appear in July. 
The species is named in honor of Professor Theodore Lyman 
of Harvard University, now serving in France, whose generosity 
enabled the Museum of Comparative Zoélogy to codperate with 
the School of Tropical Medicine of Harvard University during 
its Expedition to Peru (July—October, 1916).
