One specimen from the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, 

 has black bars on the white outer tail-feathers, as well marked as in 

 Dryobates pubescens. In its black barred or spotted dorsal stripe, 

 Dryobates villosus picoideus resembles no other form of the species, 

 excepting, curiously enough, Dryobates villosus terraenovae, from 

 Newfoundland, and shows an interesting resemblance to some races 

 of Picoides americanus. 



Eight specimens have been available, representing the following 

 localities : 



Alaska. — Kasaan Bay, Prince of Wales Island.
