P.S.—The existence of three species of Trachyphonus in 
the Somali country is curious and apparently improbable; 
but I believe nevertheless that such is the fact. Heuglin 
and Bevoil, both trustworthy observers, have collected 
Tr. margaritatus in the northern coastlands of Somali¬ 
land ; and as to this latter species, Dr. Oustalet writes me 
that the specimens collected by Mr. Bevoil are identical 
with Abyssinian specimens in the Paris Museum. In the 
southern portion of the Somali coast (Barawa, &c.) this 
species is represented by Tr. boehmi, which extends into the 
Masai country, Ugogo, and Uniamwezy; and Tr. shelleyi , our 
new species, inhabits the interior highlands of the Somali 
country. 
XV.— Notes on Woodpeckers.— No. XI. On a new Species 
from Arizona. By Edward Hargitt, F.Z.S. 
In pursuing my study of the Picidse, I happened to meet 
with a specimen of an adult male from the Santa Bita 
Mountains, Arizona Territory, which was named Picus 
stricklandi, and upon comparing it with an example of an 
adult male of true P. stricklandi from Jalapa, Vera Cruz
