Some specimens have the throat more purplish than others ; one from Mysol 

 (Calornis gularis, Gray), cannot be separated from others from Halmahera and Cape 

 York. 



10. Carpophaga concinna, Wall. 



Carpophaga concinna, Wallace, Ibis, 1865, p. 383; Salvad., Proc. ZooL Soc, 1878, p. 89, et 

 Aim. Mus. Civ. Gen., voL xiv. p. 659. 



[Nos. 263, 264, males; 265, 266, 267, females. Eyes between orange and a coral- 

 red. The stomach in all contained fruit and seeds. Legs coral-red ; bill black. There 

 were a great many of these Nutmeg Pigeons shot, enough for lunch for the whole 

 wardroom. They were very good eating.] 



11. Myristicivora bicolor, Scop. 



Myristicivora bicolor, SalvacL, Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen., vol. ix. p. 276 (1877); Proc. Zool. Soc, 

 1878, p. 89. 



[No. 278. Male. White pigeon ; eyes brown. Stomach contained fruit. Feet blue ; 

 bill black.] 



This bird has the under tail-coverts entirely white. 



In a recent paper of mine 1 I have shown that Myristicivora bicolor (Scop.), Myristi- 

 civora spilorrhoa (G. E. Gi\), and Myi'isticirora melanura (G. E. Gr.), are perfectly 

 distinct species, and that Myristicivora bicolor (Scojx), most likely is a migratory bird in 

 the Moluccas, as it is in Celebes, and that, while in Celebes it is to be found together 

 with Myristicivora luctaosa (Eeinw.), in the Moluccas it lives together with Myristicivora 

 melanura (Gray).
