" A curious Pigeon, in the guise of a Pterochs, is figured among 

 the drawings prepared under the superintendence of the late Dr 

 Alexander liurnes and Dr. Lord, marked Fahktuk (i.e. Facktah or 

 i)ove Haul.), Irom Cabul, which should be sought for in the 

 feeuKhan deserts. Total length about a foot, the wing six inches 

 and a half, and tad pointed and Pterocle s -l\ke, extending nearly two 

 inches beyond the tip of the wings; tarsi and toes, which, though 

 rudely drawn, would appear to be those of an ordinary pigeon 

 naked, and ot a pink colour. Bill dusky, being also apparent ly that 

 of an ordinary pigeon, and rather slender. General colour light 

 isabellme, with darker margins to the feathers of the mantle Tnd 

 wings ; neck, breast, and underparts plain, the breast rufescent, 

 and the belly and lower tail-coverts whitish ; the outer tail-feathers 

 would appear to have black tips ; bides crimson. Should tins here- 

 after be verified and constitute (as seems probable) a new genus of 

 W-,/or,s-, having the habits of the Gangas or Sand-grouse, it might 

 bear the name Psammaenas bum, si." (Blyih.)
