Hinds, November 7, 1961, to date the only record for the Caribbean 

 side. This is an immature male, not fully in adult dress. 



[ZENAIDURA AURICULATA HYPOLEUCA (Bonaparte): 

 Eared Dove 



Zenaida hypoleuca Bonaparte, Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris, vol. 40, no. 3, 

 1855, p. 97. (Ex America centrali = Guayaquil, Ecuador.) 



The type specimen of this race is in the British Museum (Natural 

 History), received in collections made by Captain Henry Kellett and 

 Lieutenant Commander James Wood during the Survey of H.MS. 

 Herald along the western coasts of the Americas (1846-1849). 

 While the bird bears a label on which "Pearl Island" is written, this is 

 in error as the species of dove is not known in Panama. Though the 

 supposed record has been mentioned by several authors (more recently 

 by Rendahl, Ark. Zool., vol. 13, 1920, pp. 28-29) it is without basis. 

 The specimen is of the race found from Ecuador and Peru south to 

 Bolivia. As the collectors worked at Guayaquil, Ecuador, Zimmer 

 (Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zool. ser., vol. 17, 1930, p. 257) has designated 

 that place as the type locality. Hellmayr and Conover (Birds Amer., 

 pt. 1, no. 1, 1942, p. 481) cite further details and synonymy, and agree 

 with Zimmer's action. 



The form is included here only to point out that it has no place 

 among the birds of Panama.] 



[STREPTOPELIA RISORIA (Linnaeus): Ringed Turtle Dove 



Columba risoria Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, vol. 7, 1758, p. 165. (India.) 



Lawrence, in an addendum to his account of the birds collected by 

 James McLeannan along the line of the Panama Railroad (Ann. Lye. 

 Nat. Hist. New York, vol. 8, 1863, pp. 11-12), includes this small 

 dove, known widely in domestication throughout the world, with the 

 following statement: "This species appears to have established itself 

 on the Isthmus in a wild state and found congenial quarters for its 

 increase. Mr. McLeannan writes me that he had heard it 'at two 

 extreme points on the Isthmus, ten miles from the Atlantic and six 

 from any habitation, and also four miles from the Pacific close to a 

 village, and have been told by a gentleman surveying here, who knows 

 the bird well, that he saw them on a stream called the Cabiancho, a 

 tributary of the Gatun.' The specimen sent is in fine condition, with 

 no apparent evidence of having been in confinement." 



The species has become naturalized in restricted range in various
