large Philippine AVoodpecker, described by both Camel and Gemelli Carrerif , and said to be of 

 the size of a fowl. The colour of its plumage is stated to be principally green. Dr. v. Martens 

 {I. c.) is of opinion i\\a,i 'palalaca is the native name for P. jjliilij^pinarum.

The synonyms have been brought together as above on the assumption that Luzon, Panay, 



Mindanao possess but one species of Yungipicus. 



Malherbe's opinion that this Philippine Woodpecker is identical with Buffon s Petit pic des 

 Moluques, has been satisfactorily disposed of by Dr. Cabanis (/. c).

 minor, Linn., ap. Horsf. Tr. Linn. Soc. xiii. p. 177, nee Linn.), is recorded by Malherbe (Monogr. 

 Picidce, i. p. 100), from Mindanao, but on very insufficient authority. Sundevall (Consp. Av. 

 Picinarum, p. 25, no. 69), with reason, doubts its Philippine habitat. 



Wagler (Syst. Av. Pious, p. 24, no. 27) describes his Picas variegatus from Manilla as well 

 as from Java; but Dr. Cabanis (Mus. Hein. iv. pt. 2, p. 54) has shown that Wagler had only 

 Javan examples, contained in the Munich Museum, before him. His species is probably the 

 same as P. moluocensis, Gm. 



The two following species of Woodpecker have been clearly shown by Malherbe (oj>. cit.) 

 to be African, and not Philippine: —
