Luring, his visit to England, Dr. Severtzoff examined the above-mentioned skins 
0 Gained by Dr. Stoliczka, and he named one of them “ Ficus leptorhynchus, Sev., typicus, 
the other “ Ficus leptorhynchus, Sev., var. F. leucopterus, Salvad. Dr. Severtzoff 
" seems to have regarded his name of leptorhynchus as taking priority over Salvadori s 
^ °f teucop terns, and his assertion called forth a protest from Count Salvadoii (Ibis, 1876, 
°®6), a reference which seems to have escaped the eye of my friend Mr. Hargitt. 
1 i (Lding on the advice of Dr. Severtzoff I had figures prepared of the two forms as 
ivi V ILitl by him, in order to show the difference in the pattern of the wings; but I agiee 
^L‘- Hargitt that only one species is recognizable. 
^ Lolonel Biddulph writes: — “ Ficus leucopterus we first saw between Sanju and Yaikand, 
common everywhere in the plains of Turkestan, especially between Ivashghar and 
"YEilbashi during the winter. I do not remember seeing it after our return in May.” 
ail 1 ^ r - Scully states that this Woodpecker was seen near Yarkand during the winter only, 
f 0 ! then Was far from common. In the summer it is said to move up northwards to the 
)r( ' s t-regio n in the neighbourhood of Aksu. The Turki name for this species is “ Sokocliak ,” 
' e - “ Striker.”
