appearing on wing-coverts and upon inner secondaries (thus shading into eastern 
forms of the D. villosus group). 
Recognition Marks.—As in preceding. 
Nesting.—As in D. v. monticola.

“Western United States from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific, excepting the 
special range of D. 7. harrisii, and southward into Mexico” (Coues).

ington between ranges of monticola and harrisii, perhaps only casual west of

WOODPECKERS of the Dryobates group are not migrants, but they 
are inclined to experiment, and so not infrequently turn up in their neighbors’ 
preserves. A specimen taken at Puyallup, December 25, 1895, must be re- 
garded as a wanderer from the North, altho Brooks characterizes this form 
as regular at Sumas, B. C.
