384 ON THE BIEDS mHABITING [1875. 



Having thus confounded the two species, the Prince adds China as a habitat of Cohmba cinerea. 

 Previously the Prince had stated (Compt. Rend. xl. p. 10) that he considered C. miuiata, Temm., 

 = C. cinerea., Scop. It is difficult to decide from what species Sonnerat described his Grande 

 Tourterelle de la Chine. On reading Temminck's diagnosis {I. c.) of Columha miniata it is 

 obvious that he copied from Sonnerat. Together with its size (Sonnerat says that it is as large 

 as a Wood-Pigeon), the colouring described is inconsistent with any known Chinese species of 

 Dove.

 his Columha orientalis (Ind. Orn. ii. p. 600), is Turtur gclastes, Temm. «& Schlegel. 



Mr. Blyth (Ibis, 1870, p. 173) mentions having observed in the Leyden Museum a Dove 

 labelled Columha turtur, from the Philippines, " like T. auritus, but darker, the black predo- 

 minating on the upper parts; lower tail-coverts white." Can this be Columha cinereal
