" Inhabits the billy regions of India generally, but never on the 
alluvium of Lower Bengal." — (Blyth.) 
" This is the most universally spread of all the peninsular species 
of Woodpecker. I have seen it, though rarely, in the Carnatic ; frequent 
on the wooded west coast, though not in the denser jungles ; and 
even occasionally met with it in groves of trees in the bare Deccan. 
I have seen it, also, on the summit of the Neilgherries. I found it 
most abundant in the Wulliar jungle, in the gap of Coimbatore. 
Irides fine lake-colour, bill and legs slaty." — (Jerdon.) 
In Ceylon, says Mr. Layard, it is " confined to the northern pro- 
vince, and found principally about the dead limbs of the Euphorbia 
trees. I have not seen more than half a dozen specimens."
