BUTRERON CAPELLEI (Temminck). 



Columha capellei Temminck, PI. Ci^L, IV (Pt. 24), July, 1822, pi. cxliii (Java). 



Four adult males, from Tapanuli Bay. The wing and tail measure- 



lents of these individuals agree with those given l)y Salvadori in 



is account of this species in the British Museum (Catalogue, l)ut the 



jngth, in the flesh, is much greater (387-1:00 mm., instead of 330 mm.). 



. "Iris dull red; eyelids, orbital skin, and feet ^^ellow." 



TRERON NIPALENSIS (Hodgson). 



Toria nipalensis Hodgson, Asiat. Researches, XIX, Pt. 1, 1836, p. 164, pi. ix, 

 fig. (Nepal). 



Three adults, from Tapanuli Bay. The length of the wing varies 

 loni 129-137 mm. in two females, while that of the male is 129. 

 'Iris pale orange, with an inner blue circle; naked orbital skin green- 

 sh blue; feet deep purple red; bill horny yellow, base deep red." 



TRERON FULVICOLLIS (Wagler). 



' \olumh(i\ fulvlcollin Vf ACri^Y,R, Systema Avium, I, 1827 [p. 229], ("Java"). 

 One pair from Tapanuli Bay. The male is 281 and the female 273 

 nm. in length. "'Bill leaden, base dark red; feet deep red." 



TRERON VERNANS (Linnaeus). 



Columba vernanf< LinnvEus, Mantissa Plant., 1771, p. 526 (Philippines). 



Three specimens, from Simalur, where it was " common, and the only 

 <inall fruit pigeon seen." Length of a male, 298; of a female, 280 mm. 

 Che wing measurements are: Male, 153-156; female, 152 mm. 



A species of Ti'tvon was common on Tuangku, but no specimens were 

 preserved. 



CARPOPHAGA CONSOBRINA Salvadori. 



Carpophafjd coiisobriiia Salvadori, Ann. ^lus. Civ. Geneva, 2d ser. , IV, 1887, p. 

 558 (Nias Island). 



A fine series of 18 skins, from the islands of Simalur, Babi. Lasia, 

 md Tuangku, on each of which it was found to be "common, and not 

 iitallshy." 



These birds agree with the original description of O. consohrtna^ and 

 in the absence of Nias examples for comparison, I am content to refer 

 them to this species. 



As is the case with a numljer of oth(>r species common to several of 

 the islands, the birds living on the insignificant islets Babi and Lasia 

 prove to be larger than their neighbors. In the present species the 

 length of males from Simalur and Tuangku varies from 400 to 432 mm.
