132. CAMPEPHILUS BOTzI (Wagl.). 
3. Pilciao, Andalgala, Catamarca, Arg. Rep., Sept. 16, 1880. 
2. Campo Colorado, Oran, Salta, Arg. Rep., Nov. 4, 1880. 
Iris light yellow. 
As I was out on muleback at Pilciao chasing the Chunga bur- 
meister?, on passing an algarroba-tree I chanced to observe this 
beautiful bird, which revealed itself by its vigorous pecking; it 
seems to be rare in that locality. I likewise obtained it at Campo 
Colorado, in the midst of the dense forest, but clear of undergrowth. 
Its ery, or rather croak, is peculiarly strong. The 2 has more black 
on the head than the ¢. 
133. Dryocopus rrytTurors (Val.). 
3. San Javier, Misiones, Arg. Rep., June 8, 1881. 
Only a few specimens observed, and they only in the dense 
forests. 
134. Picus mixtrus, Bodd. 
3. Fuerte de Andalgala, Catamarca, Arg. Rep., Sept. 2, 1880. 
Iris sepia. 
I shot a pair of these Woodpeckers on some old posts in the midst 
of a very dense hedge ; one skin, however, was unfortunately spoilt. 
135. Picus cacrorum, Lafr. et d’Orb. 
3 2. City of Catamarca, Arg. Rep., Aug. 7, 1880. 
Iris brown. 
I found these tolerably abundant in the province of Catamareca, 
where three or four are usually observed together on a large cactus, 
but on being disturbed either take to another cactus or to the lofty 
branches of algarroba trees. 
136. CHLORONERPES AFFINis (Wagl.). 
3 2. Campo Santo, Salta, Arg. Rep., Nov. 29, 1880. 
Tris crimson. 
Does not seem uncommon about these parts. 
[1 have not seen Mr. White’s skins referred to this Species —- 
P.L.S.] 
137. CHLORONERPES AURULENTUs (Licht.). 
3. San Javier, Misiones, Arg. Rep., June 8, 1881. 
2. Concepcion, Misiones, Arg. Rep., June 23, 1881. 
This bird, unusually met with in Concepcion, is common in San 
Javier, only a distance of ten leagues further north. It is geen 
singly in dead high trees, and makes a tapping so loud, and heard 
at such a distance, as to cause me to imagine it proceeded from 
one of the larger species. 
[1 have not seen Mr. White’s skins; but Azara includes a Wood- 
pecker (his no. 257) which is referred by Hartlaub (Ind. Az. p- 16) 
and Cab. et Hein. (Mus, Hein. Seansores, p. 158) to this species.— 
P. L.S8.]
