Chalcophaps natalis, Lister, P. Z. S. 1888, p. 522 (Christmas L, 

 Indian Ocean). 



The adult male cannot be distinguished from some male speci- 

 mens of C. inclica — the bill is not stouter, nor the white and pale 

 slate streak on the shoulder smaller, but the female has the 

 upper tail-coverts of a pure cinnamon colour, like the central tail- 

 feathers, also the under tail-coverts are of a cinnamon colour 

 without blackish tips ; in the latter respect it resembles C. stepTiani, 

 and also as regards the rufous-cinnamon colour of the neck, upper 

 back, and breast. Total length about 95 inches, wing 5-5, bill 068, 

 tarsus 1*05.
