“Tris Indian red, bill yellow, greenish at base, feet brown- 
ish.” 
Not very common anywhere and only as a rule found in 
dense and gloomy jungle, where it appears to frequent by 
preference fallen timber near the ground. Much more silent 
than most other species of Woodpeckers. In Korinchi fairly 
abundant from 3-5,c00 feet but much rarer above that level 
and not occurring above about 7,500 feet.

“Tris dark brown, bill bluish lead, feet brown.” 
This woodpecker is normally an inhabitant of second 
growth jungle and orchard land, where it lives very largely on 
tree termites. It was rare in the Korinchi Valley and the 
specimen enumerated was the only one met with by our party. 
The numerous specimens that we have examined from Sumatra 
are less ochreous and more chestnut than the series available 
from the Malay Peninsula but we have had no specimens of the 
true M. b. brachyurus from Java for comparison. If distinct 
from each other the Malay Peninsula bird will have to be known 
as M. b. squainigulavis, Sundev. and the Sumatran as M. 6b.
