 end ; the base half of a greyish ash-colour, the end half black ; 

 the under part plain dusky ; the legs brown." {Latham.)

Forster's Icon. ined. 136 certainly represents an adult specimen 

 of Ph. erytliroptera, and it is exactly like the bird figured by Knip 

 and Temmiuck. 



The bird in the British Museum is so very similar to the one 

 described by Latham and Forster, that although marked as from 

 Bow Island, one of the Paumotu group, I am obliged to refer it to 

 Ph. erytliroptera. I may mention that it has the hind part of the 

 head and the nape slate or greyish black.

This bird, which seems to be similar to Ph. erythroptera, is only known from 

 Latham's account : — "With the above (Garnet-winged Pigeon), at Sir Joseph 

 Banks's, is another, which no doubt differed in sex or age only ; it is about an 

 inch longer, the forehead, throat, fore part of the neck, and breast white; hind 

 part of the neck dusky ; over the ei/e a ferruginous streak, passing a little down- 

 wards on each side of the neck ; back dusky black ; belly dusky ; shoulders and 

 wing-coverts as in the other ; quills and tail blackish."
