Swinhoe procured this Green Woodpecker in the moun- 
tains near Tamsui. Unlike the Green Woodpecker of thie 
mainland it apparently does not descend to the lower 
hills and plains, for La Touche never heard it there. 
Formosan birds are on the average rather smaller than 
Chinese (Foh-kien) specimens—the wing of the former 
measuring from 5°2-5'4: inches, of the latter 5°3-5°8.

The description of this species was taken from an “ adult 
male?’ specimen, the exact locality in Formosa whence it 
was obtained being unknown. Can it be the immature male 
of I. kaleensis? A young bird, procured by Mr. Goodfellow 
and certainly the young of J. kaleensis, seems to agree 
exactly with the description of the type of J. wattersi. 
Hargitt appears, however, to have examined the type- 
specimen and regarded it as a distinct species.
