to belong to birds from Vera Cruz rather than from the Stale of 

 Mexico. It seems best, therefore, to restrict the name jardinii to 

 the bird from central Vera Cruz. 



Five examples have been seen, from the subjoined localities: 



Pueblo . — Mount Orizaba . 



Vera Cruz. — Mirador; Jalapa; Las Vigas. 



DRYOBATES VILLOSUS SANCTORUM Nelson. 

 Dryobates sanctorum. Nelson, Auk, vol. 14, 1897, p. 50. 



Chars, subsp. — Resembling Dryobates villosus jardinii, but much 

 smaller; ventral surface decidedly darker. . 



Measurements. — Male: 1 Wing, 107-111.5 (average, 109.4) mm.; 

 tail, 63-65 (63.9); exposed culmen, 23-25.5 (24.2); tarsus, 17-20 

 (19.2); middle toe, 13-14.5 (13.7). 



Female: 2 Wing, 99.5-108.5 (104.6); tail, 57.5-65 (60.9); exposed 

 culmen, 20-23 (21.1); tarsus, 17.5-19 (18.3); middle toe, 12.5-13.5 

 (13.1). 



Type-locality. — Todos Santos, Guatemala. 



Geographical distribution. — Transition Zone in the mountains of 

 Chiapas, Mexico, and of Guatemala: west to Pinabete, southern 

 Chiapas; north to San Cristobal, central Chiapas; and Vera Paz, 

 Guatemala; and east to the Volcan de Fuego, southeastern Guatemala. 



This race is apparently little subject to individual variation. 

 Specimens from the State of Chiapas, Mexico, are identical in size 

 with those from Guatemala. Although first described as a full 

 species, Dryobates sanctorum is clearly but a subspecies of Dryobates 

 villosus, since all characters, by reason of the individual variation of 

 contiguous races, ultimately fail to prove trenchant. 



Sixteen specimens have been examined, from the following localities: 



Chiapas, Mexico. — Pinabete; Juncana; San Cristobal; Canjob. 



Guatemala. — Volcan Santa Maria; Hacienda Chancol; Calderas, 

 Volcan de Fuego; near Tecpam. 



DRYOBATES VILLOSUS FUMEUS, new subspecies. 



Chars, subsp. — Similar to Dryobates villosus sanctorum, but very 

 much paler below and on rectrices; dorsal stripe very decidedly 

 more whitish — in fact, barely smoky except posteriorly. 



Description. — Type, adult male, No. 101240, American Museum of 

 Natural History; San Rafael del Norte, Nicaragua, April 6, 1907; 

 William B. Richardson. Upper parts generally, sides of head and 

 neck, a broad malar stripe, wings and middle tail-feathers, black; 

 broad occipital band scarlet ; nasal tufts, a broad rictal stripe produced 

 to the side of the cervix, all of the two outer rectrices (including the

2 Seven specimens, from the same localities.
