I cannot find that anything has been published on the habits of the Queen Charlotte woodpecker, which probably do not differ essentially from those of _harrisi_, to which it is closely related and which inhabits a similar, humid coast environment. There are a number of skins of this race in various collections, but, so far as I know, no authentic eggs have ever found their way into any American collection. Very little exploration has been done in the interior of the Queen Charlotte Islands, and we know very little about the habits of its birds. DRYOBATES VILLOSUS TERRAENOVAE Batchelder NEWFOUNDLAND WOODPECKER HABITS Charles F. Batchelder (1908), who discovered and described this race of the hairy woodpecker, characterized it as-- Similar to typical _Dryobates villosus_, but slightly larger, the black areas of the upper parts increased, the white areas reduced both in number and in size, especially in the remiges and wing coverts. * * * _Dryobates villosus terraenovae_ is much smaller than _D. v. leucomelas_, and is, of course, even more remote from it in coloring than from true _villosus_. Between it and _D. v. hyloscopus_ and _D. v. monticola_ there is a striking resemblance in coloring, but the wide area--occupied throughout its extent either by _villosus_ or by _leucomelas_--that intervenes between the ranges of these two Western subspecies and that of _terraenovae_, precludes the possibility of immediate intergradation, while the utter dissimilarity of the climatic conditions of their respective habitats forbids the supposition that like causes in environment have developed like characters; apparently this is a case where superficial resemblances have arisen entirely independently of climatic influences. I found the Newfoundland woodpecker fairly common in the heavily timbered valleys of the Fox Island and Sandy Rivers in Newfoundland in 1912. The timber in the flat river bottom and on the islands in the Fox Island River is almost wholly made up of deciduous trees, mainly poplar, canoe birch, ash, mountain ash (which grows to a very large size), and alder, mixed with a few spruces. On the surrounding hillsides the forest growth consists mainly of firs and spruces, with plenty of canoe and yellow birches, poplars, larches, and mountain ashes. The Sandy River runs through a fairly level and heavily timbered region, with forests of large firs, red, white, and black spruces, mixed with some birches and poplars. These two regions were the only places where we found this and the downy woodpecker, nesting in the deciduous trees. It has been observed by others in other places, and doubtless it occurs wherever there is heavy timber, with a fair sprinkling of deciduous trees, mainly along the streams and about the shores of lakes.
