Hab. Macassar, Menado [WaUace). 



Closely allied to P. swperhis (Temm.), and hardly admitted as distinct by Professor Schlegel.

Professor Schlegel (/. c.) has detailed the characters which distinguish the several races of 

 this Pigeon inhabiting the islands of Java, Flores, Celebes, Sula, Ceram, and Sanghir. They 

 undoubtedly should receive distinguishing titles ; for until they and analogous forms are separately 

 named, the physical geographer will only find half the truth when studying zoological catalogues. 

 The Celebean bird has the yellow gular patch tinged with orange [conf. Schlegel, I. c). 



Leucotreron, Bonaparte. 



119. Leucotreron gulakis (Quoy etGaimard), Voy. Astr. Zool. i. p. 247, pi. 29, "Menado" 

 (1830). 



Hob. Menado [Wallace). 



C. diademata, Temm., C. monacha, Reinwardt, and C. lujporjastra, Reinwardt, belonging to 

 the Pfilojwdince, were erroneously described by Temminck as inhabiting Celebes [conf. Wallace, 

 Ibis, 1865). 



Carpophaga, Selby. 



120. Carpophaga paulina, Temm. Mus. Lugd. [Columba (enea, 2 , Temm., Knipp, Pig. i, 

 pi. 4) ; Bp. Consp. ii. p. 35 ; Wallace, Ibis, 1865, p. 385 ; Schlegel, Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk. iii. 

 p. 200. 



Ilab. Macassar, Menado, Sula Islands [Wallace). 



A Philippine example in the Leyden Museum is stated by Professor Schlegel (/. c.) to 

 resemble the Celebean bird. But the differential characters it possesses render it likely that the 

 Philippine bird is specifically distinct. The examples in the same collection, said to have been 

 brought from the Mariannes C?), differ but slightly from the Celebean species, according to 

 Professor Schlegel. Both Prince Bonaparte and Mr. Wallace rank this fine Fruit-Pigeon under 

 Lucida, Ilodgs. It appears to me to be a typical Carpophaga, Selby. 



* I have not been able to refer to the first edition of Pennant's ' Indian Zoology ;' but if this species is there named, 

 it will have to take Pennant's title (1769).
