Mr. Charles Chubb on the 
[This species, although somewhat rare, can, in common 
with all the Woodpeckers, be easily found when present, 
on account of its tapping when in search of food. 
Both this bird and V. olivinus inhabit the large dense 
forests of Central Paraguay. It is harder to obtain than the 
larger Woodpeckers, on account of its custom of keeping 
among the higher branches of the trees. I have met with it 
from March to September.— W. F.]

[This is another of our rare Woodpeckers, whose favourite 
haunts are the larger forests. The young, previous to their 
first moult, are much lighter in colour, with the edges of the 
feathers on the breast and belly tipped with rufous, while the 
rufous bars across the primaries are much wider, and the 
crest is fully half an inch shorter. The upper tail-coverts of 
the immature bird are of an entirely dark chestnut, whilst the 
adult bird has large black patches on each of these feathers, 
the ground-colour of which is the same.— W. F.']
