Peristera dominicensis, G. R. Gr. Gen. B. ii. p. 470, n. 19 (1845) ; 



Rvhnb. Syn. Av. p. 1438 (1847). 

 Uropeleia dominicensis, Rchnb. Taitben, i. p. 18, t. 258. f. 1438 



(1862) (ex DAubenton); G. R. Gr. Hand-list, ii. p. 240, n. 9349 a 



(1870). 

 Cbamrepelia dominicensis, Gieb. Thes. Orn. i. p. 633 (1872). 

 Coturnicoenas dominicensis, " Gr." (errore), Gieb. Thes. Orn. i. p. 633 



(1872). 



" Bill black ; feet red ; upper parts ash-grey, back undulated ; 

 wings with several black spots on the coverts ; breast vinous ; fore- 

 head, sides of the head, and upper collar on the neck white ; a 

 band on the anterior part of the crown, another from the nostrils 

 under the eyes, broadened behind (on the ear-coverts), and a collar 

 round the median part of the neck, black ; underparts grey ; under 

 tail- coverts white ; tail grey, the outer feathers white. Length 

 11 inches." (Translation of Latham s descr.) 



Hab. St. Domingo. 



The bird figured by D'Aubenton and described after his plate by 

 Latham has not again been found. Knip's plate is rather different. 

 Bonaparte suspects that this is a fictitious bird, the head of which is 

 probably that of Charadrius virginianus ! What the bird mentioned 

 under the same name by Prince von Wurttemberg, as common in 

 Haiti, but rare in Cuba, can be is difficult to say. 



10. COLUMBA FESCA. 



Columba fusca, Gm. S. N. i. p. 773, n. 4 (1788) (Carthagena) (ex 

 Jacq. Beytr. p. 33, n. 27, pt.) ; Vieill. N. D. xxvi. p. 346 (1818) ; 

 Desm. Diet. Sc. Nat. xl. p. 371 (1826); Wagl. Syst. Av. Columba, 

 sp. releg. 8 (1827). 



Size of a Turtle Dove, entirely brown, but the neck and breast 

 with scale-like black and white marks. 



Probably the same as Scardafella squamata. 



11. Columba hoilotl. 



Hoilofl, Hernand. Hist. Nov. Hisp. p. 27, cap. lx. 



Columba montana mexicana, Briss. Orn. i. p. 130, n. 28 (1760). 



Columba hoilotl, Gm. 8. N. i. p. 777, n. 12 (1788) ; Lath. Ind. Orn. 



ii. p. 601, n. 30 (1790) ; Bonn. Tabl. Enc. Meth. i. p. 243 (1790) ; 



Vieill. N. D. xxvi. p. 353 (1818) ; Desm. Diet. Sc. Nat. xl. p. 373 



(1826) ; Wagl. Syst. Av. Columba, sp. releg. 4 (1827) ; Bp. Consp. 



Av. ii. p. 59 (1854). 



According to Wagler (Isis, 1831, p. 519) this is identical with 

 Columba marginata, auct., but the American ornithologists suspect 

 the identity of C. hoilotl with Melopelia leucoptera. 



12. Columba infuscata. 

 Columba infuscata, " Licht.," Rchnb. Syn. Av. t. 226. f. 1271 (1847). 



The above quoted figure has not been identified, even by Reich- 

 enbach ; it looks to me like Columba vitiensis.
