Not rare, according to Heuglin, on the Abyssinian and Adel 

 coasts, to Senar and Koidofan and on the Lower White Nile. In 

 Central Abyssinia and Gala-land he found it up to 10,000 and 

 11,000 feet. Dr. Eagazzi met \\'ith the species at Cialalaka in 

 Shoa in June, but it does not extend to the south, as it is wanting 

 in Mr. Jackson's collections, and is not recorded from German 

 East Africa by Dr. Eeichenow.

 According to Heuglin, this Woodpecker is pretty common in 

 Takah, South Nubia, Kordofan, Senar, Abyssinia, and in the 

 Samhar district. It is resident. Antinori says that he never found 

 the species in the highlands of Shoa ; in the base of the " Kolla " it 

 is rare, but is met with there, and in similar localities in Somali- 

 land it is common. Dr. Eagazzi collected specimens at Dinghai- 

 Meseghia in March, at Ambo-Karra in May, and at Daimbi in June ; 

 Mr. Jackson found the species on Mount Elgon, at 6000 feet, in 

 February ; and Dr. Eeichenow records it from the Pangani Eiver, 

 Usaramo, Irangi, the eastern slope of Kilima-njaro, and Mpwapwa.
