Buffon (tom. cit. p. 20) mentions as a distinct species, under the name of Le Palalaca, 
a large Philippine Woodpecker, described by both Camel and Gemelli Carreri*, and 
said to be of the size of a fowl. The colour of its plumage is stated to be principally 
green. Dr. y. Martens (J. c.) is of opinion that palalaca is the native name for P. 
philippinarun. 
1 Gmelin has no such title. 
* Wagler’s types were still in the Paris Museum when Malherbe wrote (J. c.). 
 Scopoli, who had already given the title of Picus menstruus to the species figured in Sonnerat’s thirty-sixth 
plate, again quoted the thirty-sixth plate and applied the title cited. But the diagnosis lainly refers to the 
bird figured in Sonnerat’s thirty-seventh plate.
