This bird closely resembles those taken on the Bamingi 

 and Shari rivers by Alexander, and alluded to by Neumann. 

 It has not hitherto been recorded from the Sudan or the 

 Nile valley.

We have followed Claude Grant in his revision of this 

 group. This form is only found in the Mongalla Province, 

 the Lado enclave, and the Bahr el Ghazal, and ranges to Abys- 

 sinia, German East Africa, and the eastern Belgian Congo.

This little Woodpecker with a spotted breast is known 

 from Uganda and the upper Welle valley, but does not 

 appear to have been hitherto recorded from the Sudan. 

 It is probable that Picus rninulus recorded by Des Murs 

 (Lefebvre's ' Voyage en Abyssiuie,^ vi. 1815, p. 176*, and 

 Reichw^ V. A. ii. p. 199 under Dendropicus minutus) as 

 having been obtained on the White Nile by M. d'Arnaud 

 really referred to this species.
