coa Research Station. A flock of four was seen on July 28, 1962, and on December 2, 1962, I took three simultaneously in one mist net. The species has flocking tendencies. Calls heard were a typical woodpecker rattle. _=Dinopium rafflesi dulitense=_ Delacour: Olive-backed Three-toed Woodpecker.--_Specimens_, 4: Cocoa Research Station: [Male] testis 11 x 7 mm., July 12, 1962, MCT 2620; [Male], September 6, 1962, MCT 2879. 12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Male], October 20, 1962, MCT 3097. Oil Palm Research Station: [Male], August 12, 1963, ADG 227. The species was taken in both primary and secondary forest. The specimen collected at the Cocoa Research Station on July 12 suggests that the species breeds there. _=Dryocopus javensis javensis=_ (Horsfield): Great Black Woodpecker.--_Specimens_, 4: Cocoa Research Station: [Female] old brood patch, 284.7 gm., light body and tail molt, July 6, 1962, MCT 2601; [Male] by plumage, July 19, 1962, MCT 2625; [Female], June 25, 1963, ADG 162; [Male], May 26, 1963, ADG 112. This species was common at the Cocoa Research Station. On June 30, 1962, a flock of six was moving through secondary forest. On July 6, 1962, I saw four in dead trees in one of the cocoa fields. _=Mulleripicus pulverulentus pulverulentus=_ (Temminck): Great Slaty Woodpecker.--_Specimen_, 1: Tiger Estate: [Male], November 25, 1962, MCT 3326. I saw this species once at the Cocoa Research Station, where a flock of four was feeding 30 feet up in secondary forest about 100 feet high on October 4, 1962. _=Blythipicus rubiginosus parvus=_ Chasen and Kloss: Maroon Woodpecker.--_Specimens_, 2: Cocoa Research Station: [Male], September 28, 1962, MCT 2975. 12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Male] imm., October 17, 1962, MCT 3062. I saw this bird sporadically while I was on the east coast. It seemed to prefer secondary forest that had some undergrowth and was invariably flushed from the understory. _=Chrysocolaptes validus xanthopygius=_ Finsch: Orange-backed Woodpecker.--_Specimens_, 4: Cocoa Research Station: [Male], light body and wing molt, July 2, 1962, MCT 2575; [Male] testis 5 x 3 mm., 168.5 gm., July 23, 1962, MCT 2640; [Female], 176.1 gm., July 23, 1962, MCT 2641; [Male], September 28, 1962, MCT 2976.
