" There was another handsome Pigeon at Xiengmai, certainly 

 dressed in less vivid colours than the preceding (Treron phoenico- 

 ptera=Crocopus viridifrons), but much larger in size. The head, 

 neck, and rump are of a pale Indian red ; on both parts of the neck 

 there are a number of small feathers, black at their base, light blue at 

 their upper edge, which, according as the light falls upon them, shine 

 more or less brightly. The mantle is black, the feathers composing 

 it being edged with Indian red, extending thence to the coverlets 

 of the wing ; the anterior part of the mantle is of a slate-blue, and 

 the feathers approaching the tail increase in depth of colour, their 

 edges being a shade lighter." 



Hah. Siam. 



Apparently a bird allied to Columba pulchricollis or C. elphin- 

 stonei.
