(SCHULZ'S WOODPECKER.)
+Phloeotomus schulzi+, _Cab. Journ. f. Orn._ 1883, p. 102. +Dryocopus
atriventris+, _Burm. La-Plata Reise_, ii. p. 444 (?).
Under this title Dr. Cabanis has shortly described a Woodpecker procured
in Central Argentina by Herr Schulz. It is a diminutive form of _C.
pileatus_ of North America; and differs from that species in colour only
in the following points:--The red crest is comparatively more developed
and more pointed; the general colour is more intensely black; the white
markings of _C. pileatus_ are present in _C. schulzi_, but the extent of
the white on the underside of the wings and on the carpal joint is much
less in the latter species. No dimensions are given.
Dr. Cabanis is of opinion that the bird from Mendoza described by Dr.
Burmeister as the young of _C. boiæi_ is referable to this new species.
