Hah. Luzon {Jagor). 



Buffon {torn. 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. v. Martens {I. c.) is of opinion that ;palalaca is the native name for P. 

 ^hilippinarum. 



' Gmelin haa no such title. 



2 Wagler's types were still in the Paris Museum when Malherbe wrote (/. c). 



' Scopoli, who had already given the title of Pkus 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.
