A pair from Halifax, Yorkshire, in the collection of the 

 Duchess of Portland was recorded by Latham ; another bird 

 from Whitby, 1849, and one from Chipping Norton, Oxford- 

 shire, 1882, have been reported, but all are of doubtful 

 authenticity. 



The typical race of the Hairy Woodpecker, to which we 

 may presume the British specimens should be referred, is 

 found in the north-eastern United States from Nebraska to 

 the Atlantic ; it is represented by other subspecies throughout

The Great Black Woodpecker has frequently been reported 

 from various parts of England since the time of Latham, but 

 Mr. J. H. Gurney and Prof. Newton (ed. Yarrell's Birds, ii. 

 p. 482) have disposed satisfactorily of all these so-called occur- 

 rences. An undoubted example shot at Otley, Yorkshire,
