Specimens from Williamson's Woodpecker, Sphi/rapi- 

 cus thyroideus (El Dorado county, California), the White- 

 headed Woodpecker, Xenopiciis aWolarvatus (El Dorado 

 county, and Kings River Canon, California), and the 

 Californian Woodpecker, Melanerpts formicivorus bainli 

 (Palo Alto, California). Types collected by Kellogg 

 from Melanerpes formicivorus bairdi (Palo Alto, Cali- 

 fornia). The specimens from the El Dorado county 

 birds show narrow heads and bodies, but this is 

 probably due to shrinking in drying, aS all the speci- 

 mens of the small collections from this locality appear 

 to have suffered in the same way.
