APPENDIX. 



I have included in this Appendix the doubtful species of Pigeons, 

 which have not yet been identified, and which I could not conve- 

 niently intercalate in the body of this volume ; a few fictitious ones ; 

 and some which have been wrongly associated with the Pigeons. 



1. CoLUMBA ADFINIS. 



Columba adfinis, Mohring, Av. Gen. 103 (1752) ; Wald. Ibis, 1869, 

 p. 320, note. 



Apparently the same as Cuculus brasiliensis, Linn. S. N. i. p. 171, 

 n. 18 (1766), a bird which has never been identified. 



2. Columba asiatica. 



Indian Pigeon, Lath. Syn. Suppl. i. p. 202, n. 60 y (1787). 



Columba asiatica, Lath, (nee Midi, 1776) Ind. Orn. ii. p. 597, n. 14 

 (1790) ; Bonn. Tabl. Enc. Met/,, p. 241 (1790) ; Temm. Pig. et 

 GaUin. i. p. 467 (1813) ; Steph. Gen. Zool. xi. p. 53 (1819) ; Vieill. 

 X. D. xxvi. pp. 348, 379 (1818) ; Desm. Diet. Sc. Nat. xl. p. 572 

 (1826) ; Wagl. Syst. Av. Columba, sp. dub. 2 (1827). 



Treron ? asiatica, G. R. Gr. Gen. B. ii. p. 467, n. 18 (1844). 



"Length 11 inches: beak bluish at the base, towards the tip 

 white; head ash-colour ; neck pale yellowish green, lower part of 

 the neck all round, the middle of the wing near the shoulders, and 

 all the under parts, white ; the whole of the outer edge of the wings 

 and the quills black, with whitish edges ; body above and tail 

 greenish-ash colour : end of the tail dusky ; legs bluish ; claws 

 black. Inhabits India." (Latham.) 



Apparently a species of the Treronine subfamily, but not yet 

 identified. 



3. Columba atistralis. 



Columba australis, Chamisso (nee Linn.) in Kotzebue's Seise, iii. 

 p. 113 (from Kadack or Marshall Islands) (1821 ) ; G. R. Gr. List 

 B. Trap. Id. p. 43 (1859) ; Wiglesw. Ibis, 1893, p. 21 1. 



Probably the same as Globicera oceanica, the only Pigeon found 

 in the Marshall Islands by Dr. Finsch. 



4. Columba bruxxea. 



Columba brunnea, Lath. Ind. Orn. ii. p. 603, n. 38 (1790) (New 

 Zealnnd) ; Bonn. Tab!. Enc Meth. i. p. 244 (1790); Temm. Pig.
