350 WOODPECKER. 



B. — One of these, in the Museum of the India House, London, 

 said to have come from Java, had the head and all beneath streaked, 

 or mixed black and white ; the back fulvous, the lower part of it, 

 and the rump crimson ; quills and tail black. This had two toes 

 before, and only one behind. 



The Bengal Species is found in Java ; at least one very similar, 

 and inclines equally to the Goa one, though somewhat ditfering 

 from both ; and Dr. Horsfield is of opinion, that these two may 

 probably form but one Species ; and he also observes, that there is 

 considerable variety between the individuals found in Java, where it 

 is called Platuk bawang.
