Similar to C. pinon, but the upper part of the head, instead of 

 being grey, is vinous like the rest of the head, neck, and mantle, 

 where the vinous colour reaches the black scapulars ; the chestnut 

 colour of the breast and abdomen is better defined from the vinous 

 of the crop-region than in C. pinon. Size about the same.

* This specimen was mentioned by Mr. Sclater in a paper on birds from the 

 south-east coast of New Guinea (P. Z. S. 1876, p. 4C>0), but the locality ' Huon 

 Gulf was not given by him, and most probably it is wrong.
