NOTES AND EEFEEENCES. 



530a. This is a northern variety slightly smaller than P. MAGNiFicus,but 

 identical in plumage. Very small specimens, apparently of this 

 variety in an immature state of plumage, were identified as 

 Carpophaga puella, (Less.), they may, however, prove to be 

 Megalopbepia POLitiBA, Salvad., see Salvad., Orn. Pap. et Moluc, 

 iii., p. 68, sp. 7G2. 



534. Gould's species 460 (Handb. ii., p. 119) Chalcophaps longirosteis 

 is a slightly more slender built bird, but identical in i^lumage, and 

 cannot be considered a good species. 



547 and 548. Very little, if any, difference exists between these two birds ; 

 the Northern race, G. placida, is smaller and slightly brighter in 

 coloration.
