Description. — Male. Similar in general aspect to P. macii, but differing 
in the following respects : — The upper back is barred with white^ like the 
remainder of the interscapulary region and rump ; the upper tail- coverts 
are barred with white ; all the tail-feathers are barred or spotted with 
white ; the sides o£ the head and throat are a pure white ; the lower 
plumage is less fulvous, and the chest and breast are conspicuously spotted 
with black ; the remainder of the lower plumage is closely barred with 
black; the vent and under tail-coverts are only faintly washed with 
red. 
The female differs in wanting the crimson on the head,, that part being 
black. 
This species may be known by the whole crown being crimson in the 
male,, black in the female ; by the central tail-feathers being barred 
and spotted with white ; by the vent and under tail-coverts being very 
faintly tinged with red, instead o£ being deep crimson as in the preceding 
Pied Woodpeckers ; and by the breast being spotted with black. 
Bill bluish black, paler at the base ; iris brown ; eyelids purplish 
brown; mouth flesh-colour; legs and feet plumbeous; claws bluish horn- 
colour. 
Length 7 inches, tail 2*5, wing 4, tarsus -7, bill from gape 1. The 
female is of much the same size. 
The Spotted-breasted Pied Woodpecker appears to be locally distributed 
in Pegu. It is rather common in the neighbourhood of Thayetmyo, and 
both Mr. Blyth and Lord Tweeddale received it from Tonghoo. Dr. Arm- 
strong procured it at Elephant Point at the mouth of the Rangoon river ; 
but I failed to observe it in any portion of Southern Pegu. Capt. Wardlaw 
Ramsay obtained it in Karennee ; but it has not yet been found in any 
portion of Tenasserim. 
It occurs in the islands of Sumatra, J ava^ Madura and Lombock ; and 
* This name is generally quoted as Horsfield's ; but Horsfield distinctly credits 
Temminck with it (I. c).
