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 mucli 

 darker and the upper parts of the body brighter and washed with golden yellow. The 

 målar stripe is also broader and more distinct and the tail-feathers broadlv margined 

 with yellowish red. Nuchal crest longer and brighter. Other allied forms are B. chlori- 

 gaster longipennis Hart. from Hainan and B. chlorolophus rod g er i Kart. & Butler, from 

 the mountains of the Malay Peninsula. From the former which lacks the red målar 

 stripe the new form is thus easilv distinguished. 



Brachylophus chlorolophus rodgeri stånds 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 K ed 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 börder 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 påle greenish yellow.
