[Specimens of this Woodpecker were more numerous in Mr. 

 Andersson's collections than those of any other species. It 

 appears to me that the female of this species agrees more ac- 

 curately than any other with that described by Messrs. Strickland 

 and Sclater (loc. cit.), under the designation of "Campethera

 synonym of the succeeding species, and therefore not correctly 

 applied to the present bird. 



I endeavoured to refer to Mr. Strickland's original specimen 

 when I visited the Museum of Zoology at Cambridge, in which 

 his collection is now preserved, but I did not succeed in dis- 

 covering it there. ED.]
