33. Carpophaga rosacea (Tomm.) 



October and November. " Iris carmine. Bill dark grey with carminft no.strils. 

 Feet bright carmine." 



34. Carpophaga concinna Wall. 



One male and two females were shut in November. Their iris was orange. 

 They are typical cowiinia, and not a bit like C cowinna aepniata from the Key 

 Islands. 



:'>."i. Columba metallica Temm. 



Fonud frequently in November and December. The specimens fnlly agree with 

 those from Timor. The breast, neck, and mantle vary somewhat, the metallic gloss 

 being sometimes beautifully i)urplish red, sometimes almost pure green. A yonng 

 bird has the head and neck dull brown, the breast rufous brow-n. Adnlt birds have 

 the "iris" orange, f<'et carmine, bill bright carmine, tip yellowish white. "The 

 yotmg birds have the '■ iris pale brown, feet brown, bill brownish black." 



oCp. Chalcophaps chrysochlora (Wagl.) 

 Both sexes and young were shot in December. 



37. Eallina tricolor Gray. 



One female, 'Woeliier, 1. VI. 1898. "Iris brownish red, feet brown : bill light 

 green. Eyelid ochreous." 



This specimen-is rather small, measuring only as follows : wing 138, tarsus 43, 

 bill 22 mm. Being somewhat out of its generally known area of distribution, it is 

 quite possible that it belongs to a smaller subspecies, but it is not possibli' to decide 

 about tliis from a single specimen. 



38. Amauromis phoenicura (Furst. ) (? leucomelaena). 



One (apparently adnlt) specimen. In this the sides of the head and iieck are 

 lierfectly slat}--black, and there is no white on the forehead I This bird — a similar 

 one is before me from Sumba— differs very much from young -I. phoenu-ura from 

 India. I am therefore inelined to think that tliere is after all a Timorese s])ecies or 

 subspecies, to be cviXXqA leucomelaena. (Cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. v. XXIII.
