16. Ptilinopus gestroi kaporensis subsp. nov. 



This is a most distinct form, and most ornithologists would call it a good 

 species. We unfortunately have only one ? specimen from Kapaur, collected by 

 William Doherty in February 1892. It differs from P. yestroi gestroi in having 

 the forehead and sincipnt to beyond the eyes brownish-orange instead of a greenish 

 olive-yellow ; the remainder of crown and occiput and sides of head greenish-orange, 

 instead of greenish olive-yellow. The grey nuchal band is considerably darker, 

 the mantle is deep orange-brown, instead of green washed with olivaceous-orange. 

 The greater wing-coverts are much more grey, and the inner secondaries have their 

 centres grey instead of being uniform green. The whitish grey of the chin seems 

 to extend further on to the throat, the rest of the throat is brownish-orange instead 

 of orange-yellow. Breast of a deeper orauge-brown, which colour extends almost 

 to the centre of the abdomen. The edges of the under tail-coverts are whiter, being 

 less washed with sulphur-yellow.
