264 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie Grant on the 



The Sulu bird (P. suluensis, Blasius) has been separated 

 on account of its larger size and the blue on the crown 

 being more extended, beginning at the anterior edge of the 

 forehead and extending to the occiput. Its larger size (wing 

 6*5 inches) one can appreciate, but the supposed difference in 

 the blue on the crown and other minor characters mentioned 

 are equally found in birds from Basilan, Mindanao, &c., so 

 that P. suluensis can onl}^ be considered a rather larger in- 

 sular race of P. discurus, which it absolutely resembles in 

 plumage.

Additional examples from Albay district and Catanduanes 

 all bear out the characters mentioned in the above reference 

 to this Fruit-Pigeon, the dark purplish-grey band across 

 the nape being well-marked in all. I think this form may 

 be fairly retained under Bonaparte's name and kept separate 

 from typical C. anea.

 B. Brit. Mus. xxi. p. 209 (1893). 



Several examples of this magnificent and very rare Green 

 Fruit-Pigeon were collected in the Albay district. It has 

 previously been obtained only in the more southern islands, 

 and was not met with at Catanduanes.
