Dryobates pubescens gairdnerii. Gairdncr's Woodpecker. 



Dr. Merriam shot a specimen of this species on the north side of Te- 

 hachapi Pass, California, a few miles below the summit, June 25. Mr. 

 kelson found it rare in the pinon belt of the Panamint and Grapevine 

 mountains May 4 to June 15, and reported a few seen near San Luis 

 Obispo the last of October. These are the only records we have for 

 the species. 



Dryobates scalaris bairdi. Baird's Woodpecker. 



The known range of this woodpecker was extended considerably by 

 the observations of the ex|)edition. In the Mohave Desert it was not 

 uncommon among the giant yuccas at Hesperia, east of Gajon Pass, 

 where a pair was secured January 4 and 5. Dr. Merriam saw one at 

 the Upper Cottonwood Springs at the east base of the Charleston 

 Mountains, Nevada, April 30, one in Yegas Wash May 2, another 

 near the mouth of the Santa Clara, Utah, May 14, and shot an adult 

 male and saw others in the cottonwoods where Beaver dam Creek joins 

 the Virgin in northwestern Arizona, May 9. 



In 1889 Mr. Bailey found it common in the timber along the Santa 

 Clara in January, among the yuccas at Dolan and Mud springs in 

 Detrital Valley, Arizona, in February, and in the river bottom at Port 

 Mohave in March.

Dryobates rmttallii. Nuttall's Woodpecker. 



This species was first observed in Cajon Pass in the San Bernardino 

 Mountains, Calif., where a fine adult male was secured January 2. Mr. 

 Palmer saw several at Old Port Tejon, July 1, and Dr. Merriam 

 secured a specimen between Walker Basin and Caliente, June 24. 

 In the Sierra Nevada several were seen on the western slope of Walker 

 Pass, July 2 — 13 ; it was not uncommon along the valley of Kern River
