webs spotted with white; the outer webs of the primaries, except the first and second one 
margined with red, almost on their whole length, the tip only being greenish; outer se- 
condaries brown on their inner webs and red, washed with yellowish green on their outer 
webs; inner secondaries almost green with blackish brown shafts, the basal part being 
brown on the inner web; no white spots on the outer webs of the primaries; tail black 
with yellowish red broad margins on the basal part of all the tail-feathers except the outer- 
most pair; nasal plumes and a line in front of the eye deep black; forehead and occipital 
crest bright bloody-red; basal part of crown feathers greenish grey broadly tipped with 
bloody-red; nuchal crest golden yellow; sides of the face olive green; ear-coverts greyish 
olive brown; lores and a broad stripe under the ear-coverts white; superciliary stripe 
olive brown; broad malar stripe bloody red faitly barred with dusky olive, the feathers 
having grey bases; occipital crest lemon yellow; chin and breast dark brownish olive, 
the bases of the feathers greyish white; remainder of underparts and under tail-coverts 
greyish white with a faint greenish shade and barred with dusky brown; under wing- 
coverts and axillaries pure white though broadly barred with dusky brown; thighs smoky 
brown; bend of the wing white barred with dusky olive. 
This new species is somewhat allied to Brachylophus chlorolophus VIEILL., but 
differs by the intensity of the red colour of the crown and nape. Chin and throat much 
darker and the upper parts of the body brighter and washed with golden yellow. The 
malar stripe is also broader and more distinct and the tail-feathers broadly margined 
with yellowish red. Nuchal crest longer and brighter. Other allied forms are B. chlori- 
gaster longipennis Hart. from Hainan and B. chlorolophus rodgert Hart. & BUTLER, from 
the mountains of the Malay Peninsula. From the former which lacks the red malar 
stripe the new form is thus easily distinguished. 
Brachylophus chlorolophus rodgeri stands somewhere between B. chlorolophus VIEILL. 
and B. chlorigaster JERD., but differs from the former species in being much darker on 
the upper parts of the body, in having the abdomen darker and in having shorter wings. 
From B. chlorigaster it differs in being larger and in having the head green, not red.

The Banded Red Woodpecker seems to be extremely rare and during the Expedition 
only two specimens were observed, the one in an evergreen forest at Hat Sanuk near 
the Tenasserim border northwest from Koh Lak and the other one in a thin bamboo- 
jungle north of Koh Lak. This is a southern form, the distributional area of which seems 
to extend to about Lat. N. 12°. 
The specimen obtained has the crown and the occipital crest rich carmine; the 
nuchal crest is pale greenish yellow.
