* Temminck by mistake quotes pi. 34. instead of 35. as belonging to C. viri- 

 dissima. The bird marked as type of the latter iu the Museum of Paris is the 

 same as Ptilopus pictiventris, Elliot, but I have no doubt that it is not the 

 real type, as Temminck's plate agrees very well with Tonga and Fiji birds 

 (P. porphyraceus), and not with Sauioan P . fasciatus (=pietkentris).
