were met with here. Among these was the present beautiful Wood- 

 pecker, of which, however, only a single pair was observed, and the 

 male alone taken. It is said to occur sparingly in all the large 

 forests."

 (SCHULZ'S WOODPECKER.)

 ventris, Burm. La-Plata Reise, ii. p. 444 (?). 



Under this title Dr. Cabanis has shortly described a Woodpecker 

 procured in Central Argentina by Herr Schulz. It is a diminutive 

 form of C. pileatus of North America, and differs from that species in 

 colour only in the following points : The red crest is comparatively 

 more developed and more pointed ; the general colour is more intensely 

 black ; the white markings of C. pileatus are present in C. schulzi, 

 but the extent of the white on the underside of the wings and on the 

 carpal joint is much less in the latter species. No dimensions are 

 given. 



Dr. Cabanis is of opinion that the bird from Mendoza described by 

 Dr. Burraeister as the young of C. boicei is referable to this new species.

 (RED-FACED WOODPECKER.) 



Dryocopus erythrops, Scl. et Salv. Nomencl. p. 99 j White, P. Z. S. 1882, p. 617 

 (Misiones). 



Description. Above black; crested head scarlet; broad line from front 

 beneath the eye and down the neck white ; malar patch scarlet : beneath, 

 throat white, with black striations ; breast black ; belly white, transversely 

 barred with black ; under surface of wings white ; bill plumbeous ; feet black : 

 whole length 13'0 inches, wing 7'5, tail 5-0. Female similar, but anterior half 

 of head black, and no scarlet malar patch. 



Hab. Brazil. 



White states that he " observed " a few specimens of this Brazilian 

 species in the dense forests of Misiones ; but its occurrence so far 

 south requires confirmation. A more likely species of this genus to 

 occur there would be D. lineatus, which has been found in Paraguay 

 (cf. Berlepsch, J. f. 0. 1887, p. 20).
