Genus STREPTOPELIA Bonaparte. 



Streptopelia Bonaparte, Consp. Avium, II, sig. 8, Nov. 25, 1854 [April

^ It has been claimed that the name Columba macroura Linnaeus, usually 

 applied to the West Indian Mourning Dove, belongs more properly to this 

 species. Linnaeus (Syst. Nat., ed. 10, 164) based his name on both birds and 

 it seems undesirable to make the change as much difference of opinion is 

 involved.
