Dryobates subcirris STEJN. (169) 
g ad., U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 120557; Henson No. 212; Hakodate, Oct. 30,1884. 9 ad., 
No. 120558; Henson No. 213; Hakodate, Nov. 10, 1884. 
These birds are typical D. subcirris both in size and color, and con- 
form in every detail to the diagnosis which I gave six years ago (Proce, 
U.S. Nat. Mus., 1x, 1886, p. 113). The under side, lower back and 
ereater upper wing-coverts are strongly suffused with buff, and the 
rump is black. 
The question as to the occurrence of true D. leucotos in Yezo is still 
an open oe. 
Dryobates japonicus (SEEB.). (167) 
In Henson’s collection there are two specimens undoubtedly referable 
to this species, though the under surface is rather dark buffy, but the 
white shoulder patch is comparatively large. One of them, a bird in 
male plumage (U.S. Nat. Mus. No. 120555, Henson No. 200), collected 
at Hakodate, November 10, 1884, is molting the first two primaries. 
The other (No. 120556, Henson No. 167), a female, from the same lo- 
cality, September 11, 1884, is a comparatively young bird, as testified 
by two red feathers on the crown, and by the large size of the first 
(tenth) primary, which measures 35"™™ in length. 
Since writing my ‘‘ review” of the Japanese Woodpeckers, I have re- 
ceived quite a number of additional specimens, but as they are all win- 
ter birds and none from farther south than Tokio, they throw but little 
light on the question of the occurrence and validity of the so-called D. 
gouldit GRAY from Japan. 
It still seems as if the birds from the eastern and southern central 
portion of Hondo (Tokaido and southern Tosando) have less white* on 
* In reply to a footnote by Mr. Hargitt (Cat. B. Br. Mus., xvii, p. 219), in which 
he says that Dhave “stated that in the Main Island of Japan a species is found 
which has black seapulars and the underparts uniforni,” I may remark that in the 
paper quoted (Pr. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1886, Review of the Japanese Woodpeckers) I 
gave the characters of the supposed species as “ Under surface brownish; scapulars 
mostly black.” It is but just to an author to quote him correctly,
