 Picus flavinotus, Malherbe, /. c. 

 Picus maculatus, Jerd. Birds of India, i. p. 279, "Philippines" (1862). 



Hab. Luzon (Jagor) ; Panay (Sonnerat) ; Mindanao (Lesson). 



The synonyms have been brought together as above on the assumption that Luzon, 

 Panay, and Mindanao possess but one species of Yungipicus. 



Malherbe's opinion that this Philippine Woodpecker is identical with BufFon's Fefit 

 pic des Moluques, has been satisfactorily disposed of by Dr. Cabanis (l. c). 



Picus analis, Temm., MS. (Horsf. Gen. Cat. Jav. Birds, in Horsf. Zool. Ees. Java,= 

 Pictis minor, Linn., ap. Horsf. Tr. Linn. Soc. xiii. p. VII, nee Linn.), is recorded by Mal- 

 herbe (Monogr. Picidce, i. p. 100), from Mindanao, but on very insufficient authority. 

 Sundevall (Consp. Av. Picinarum, p. 25, no. 69), with reason, doubts its Philippine 

 habitat. 



Wagler (Syst. Av. Picus, p. 24, no. 27) describes his Picus variegatus from Manilla 

 as well as from Java ; but Dr. Cabanis (Mus. Hein. iv. pt. 2, p. 54) has shown that 

 Wagler had only Javan examples, contained in the Munich Museum, before him. 

 His species is probably the same as P. moluccensis, Gm. 



The two following species of Woodpecker have been clearly shown by Malherbe 

 {op. cit.) to be African, and not Philippine.
