Masuri, extending into Assam and Cachar, and ranging 
south into British Bnrmah as far as the central portion of 
the province of Tenasserim, but not occurring so far south 
as Meetan. In writing upon this species. Dr. Jerdon re¬ 
marks :—“ Found throughout the Himalayahs extending 
from Assam to Burma. At Darjeeling I observed it chiefly 
in the zone from 2000 to 6000 feet/'’ The most western 
locality to be found in Hume^s series is Masuri; but he 
also has other specimens from the neighbourhood of Nynee 
Tal and Almora. Colonel Irby procured it on one of the 
lower hills between Nynee Tal and Kaleedonghee in 
Kumaon, and in the British Museum are several specimens 
from Nepal, collected by Mr. Hodgson. A large series 
from Sikkim, collected by the late Mr. Mandelli, is in 
the Hume Collection, and shows the species to be resident, 
as the specimens have been obtained in almost every month 
of the year; and according to Capt. Bulger it is seemingly 
common in the forests of that country, which extend 
downwards towards the Little Bungeet river. Mr. Inglis 
states that in North-eastern Cachar this Woodpecker is 
not uncommon, and that it remains all the year. He only 
met with it in dense jungles. McClelland obtained it in 
Assam. To the south, Mr. Blyth says it is not uncommon 
in Arracan; and Mr. Oates remarks that it is found com¬ 
monly all over the Pegu Hills, but he did not meet with it in 
the plains. In Tenasserim, Messrs. Hume and Davison state 
that it is confined to the low hills and their neighbourhood, 
in the northern and central portions of the province, and the 
latter gentleman observes that it does not appear to get as 
far south as Meetan. Capt. Bingham says that it is fairly 
common in the Thounghyeen valley.
