TEMMINCK'S DOVE. 



Adult male. — Forehead, anterior portion of crown, and sides of 

 crown and occiput light cinnamon-drab to ecru-drab ; sides of head 

 similar, passing into dull white, vinaceous-white, or dull pale grayish 

 vinaceous on chin and upper throat, and into purplish or grayish 

 vinaceous-fawn color on foreneck and chest, this passing posteriorly, 

 through a more pinkish hue, into pale vinaceous-buff on flanks and abdo- 

 men, the anal region and under tail-coverts pale cream-buff to buffy 

 white; axillars and proximal wing-coverts pale bluish gray (gull 

 gray), the distal mider wing-coverts deeper gray; posterior portion 

 of crown and occiput (sometimes part of nape also) gray (dark guU 

 gray to neutral gray), passing into grayish brown on hindneck; a 

 subauricular spot of glossy blue-black (or black glossed and with steel 

 blue), and a streak of the same along upper margin of auricular re- 

 gion ; side of lower neck brilliantly glossed with metallic reddish purple 

 changing to golden bronze, the lower hindneck more faintly glossed; 

 back, scapulars, wing-coverts, and proximal secondaries hair brown 

 to grayish olive-brown, the distal wing-coverts, rump, upper tail- 

 coverts, and middle rectrices more or less grayer (the last, however, 

 sometimes quite concolor with back), the upper rump sometimes 

 decidedly gray; a few of the proximal larger wing-coverts and two 

 innermost secondaries each with a rather large roundish or ovate spot 

 of black on outer web; alulae, primary coverts, primaries, and distal 

 secondaries grayish dusky (deep to dark neutral gray), the primaries 



o This bird, which is known only from an unpublished colored drawing by a Mr. 

 Robinson, seems to be one of the many West Indian species which have become ex- 

 tinct. It was apparently still existant in Gosse's time, and was knovsm to the woods- 

 men of Jamaica as the "Blue Partridge."
