No. 1, acquired by Lord Derby from Leadbeater in June, 1841, has on the label 
“Columba korthalsii, nova species, Sumatra,” followed by a specific locality, 
which is illegible. The label is in the same handwriting as that on other speci- 
mens collected by S. Miiller, in the Padang highlands at Batang Singalang, 
which were acquired at the same time. The specimen is, therefore, probably 
one of the Types. 
The specimen from Java is a slightly larger bird, and is considerably paler in 
colour both above and below.

Count Salvadori has remarked (Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus. xxi. p. 22, 1893) that the birds 
from Central Africa and Kilimanjaro are brighter in colour than those from the 
West Coast ; the same may be said of specimens from the Gambia, as compared 
with others from Cape Coast Castle and Gaboon.
