7. Picus pubescens, Linne. Downy Woodpecker. A female of 
this species (No. 449 9 , February 26, 1875, E. A. M.) presents a very un- 
usual appearance. It still retains a number ot red feathers on both sides 
of the nape. The red feathers on the crown are said to be characteristic 
of the young female. It is interesting to know that the red feathers are 
retained so late in the season. The red patches on the nape were so con- 
spicuous in the living bird as to cause it to be shot.
