Rodger’s Woodpecker. 
A new species obtained at 3,500 feet. I am not sure 
whether the full description has yet appeared in print; it has 
not yet reached me, and [do not wish to anticipate it. Dr. 
Hartert, comparing it with G. chlorolophus and G. chlorigaster 
says, in epist. ‘* Differs from chlorolophus in its much darker and 
more uniform green upperside, shorter wing, and darker abdo- 
men with much narrower cross-bars. Differs from chlorigaster 
in its larger size, longer wing, and in the middle of the crown 
being green and not red.” Named in honour of Mr. J. P. 
Rodger, British Resident, Selangor. (1.)
