As Wilson’s history, of this wellgKroown! Woodpecker is copiplete,
and his descriptioiidhvioijsféihscriminates the sexes and young, We
shall refer the readér entirely to humfoij information on those points.

its îfl;â tint, having only tw p o r three reddish points visible on the
forehead, yet thef patch on the breàsf^ ^tnïe as obvious.as it is found
in the adult state. Mtyoung birasjofy^pfei %'st, and 'éeeondi'yëars, this
patch is usually obsô^feAhe b re |stî||in g chi^Rÿisky-gray, although
the crown isj entirely red|; ,
YFl^specimen b efor&Us|| exhibiting one of the periodical
sta|és of plumage of thafrnangeablc bird, is the only one we have been
able tofnlpfcure, amongst à great number!«, the young of both sexes
