I have compared the Malay States birds with those from 

 Java and cannot perceive any differences whatever. All the 

 more northern birds having wings above, say^ 135 mm., 

 should, I thiuk^ be called G. v. eisenhoferi.

This Woodpecker does not seem to extend southward 

 beyond the latitude of Peninsular Siam, and five birds from 

 the southern part of that area have wings ranging from 

 128 to 135 mm. A male from Tanjong Badak, southern 

 Tenasserim, has the wing of the same size as the Koh Lak 

 male, and a male and female from Mergui and the foot of 

 Muleyit have wings of 132 and 130 mm. The typical 

 locality of G. viridanus is Arakan,

The Indian M.useum, Calcutta, has a pair of this bird 

 from "Burma "with wings of 129 mm., but it seems to 

 attain a considerably larger size, as Gates gives the wing- 

 length of Upper Pegu examples as ranging from 136 to 141
