The species of this division are numerous, and may be still more 

 subdivided, according; to the greater or less nudity of their tarsi, and 

 from the naked space found round tlie eyes of some of them. (l) 



Some have even caruncles, and other naked parts on the head. 

 Such is the Col. auricou; Col. auricularis, Tem., 21. 



We can also separate some species with pointed tails. (2) 

 But the best of all the divisions that have been made among the 

 Pigeons, is that of, 



ViNAGO, CuV. CoLUMBARS, Vaill.(3) 



KnoAvn by the bill, which is thicker, formed of a solid substance, 

 and compressed on the sides; the tarsi are short, the feet wide and 

 well bordered. They all feed on fruit, and inhabit forests. But Jew 

 species are known, all of which are from the torrid zone of the east- 

 ern continent.(4) Some of them have a pointed tail.(5)
