This bird was not common at Fuji, but became tolerably so in Shin- 
shiu in autumn and winter. 
It almost invariably accompanies flocks of tits, associating with them 
in perfect harmony. 
On moving from tree to tree they utter the warning ery ‘gee’d,” 
‘“geed,” but whether the tits follow the woodpecker, or vice versa, I was 
unable to ascertain with certainty.

Not obtained at Fuji. Early in autumn these birds are commonly 
found on magnolia trees, but later in the season they seem to frequent 
the Cryptomeria groves.
