Ellis's Icon. ined. 71, in tlie British Museum, represents a bird similar to 

 Ph. erytliroptera on the upper parts, and with the forehead and the eyebrows 

 white as in that species, but it has the underparts entirely white. If such a bird 

 really exists, it no doubt belongs to a distinct species.

All we know about this bird is contained in the following paragraph by 

 Latham : — " In the same collection [of Sir Joseph Banks] I find also one 

 [Pigeon] which came from the Island of Tanna, and seems between both the 

 above (Garnet-winged Pigeon from Tanna and var. from Otaheite) : for it has 

 the white streak over the eye of the first, and the fore part to the breast white 

 as the last ; the forehead, sides of the head, and fore part of the neck are also 

 white ; legs deep dull crimson ; belly and back reddish black ; tail rounded." 



Hab. Tanna, New Hebrides. 



Possibly the adult or male of the following species.
