9. COLUMBA Bantamensis, Sparm. Mus. Carls. 



Katitiran. Jj^Sjm 



About eight inches in length. The colour on the breast is of a 

 vinous red, much less bright in the female than in the male. 

 The natives reckon three varieties of the Katitiran, differing 

 in size. They are very generally kept tame, and, as well as the 

 Balam or Turtle, are trained to fight with each other. Poonai 

 is the generic name of the Doves which the Malays distinguish 

 from the Balam or Turtle family by being less exclusively gra- 

 nivorous. The Dove is a subject of Malay poetry as much as it 

 is of European.
