Norfolk Island, and A. chathamensis, of the Chatham group, have 
greyer wing-coverts and green nape. Lopholaemus antarcticus, 
of Eastern Australia, is grey, with a fine rufous crest, black 
remiges, black rectrices banded with grey, and bare reddish 
orbits;. the neck-feathers being hackled as in Caloenas. In

the Malay Archipelago, has black wing-quills and tip to the tail; 
the similar JZ. spilorrhoa of Australia and Papuasia, the yellower 
M. subflavescens of New Ireland, and the blacker-tailed JZ melanura 
of the Moluccas, have black spots near the vent; JZ luctuosa, of 
Celebes and the Sula Islands, has the remiges nearly grey. 
Phaenorrhina goliath, of New Caledonia and the Isle of 
Pines, is slaty-black, with maroon patches on the wing-coverts 
and abdomen, black quills, and a broad chestnut tail-bar. 
The forty to fifty species of Carpophaga range from India to 
Hainan and Fiji. C. concinna, found in the Moluccas, Tenimber, 
Ké, and Aru Islands, is metallic bronzy-green with grey head 
and lower surface ; C. aenea, extending from India and Ceylon 
to Hainan and Flores, has more vinaceous lower parts and greener 
tail; C. latrans, of Fiji, is nearly brown above; C. zoeae, of 
Papuasia, has a chestnut mantle and black pectoral band.

of New Guinea and the Western Papuan Islands, is slaty-grey 
with a white forehead, a ring of white feathers round the 
naked red orbits, and a purplish-chestnut lower breast. Large 
flocks commonly gather after breeding. The seven species of 
Globicera, remarkable for a fleshy knob at the base of the bill, 
may be represented by C. pacifica, ranging from New Guinea to 
Samoa, and (. rubricera, of New Ireland, New Britain, New 
Hanover, and the Duke of York Island. The former has a grey
