Guillemard, Everett). 
“Osmotreron everetti resembles O. axillaris from the Philippines, but 
is altogether a larger bird ; the purplish chestnut mantle is bordered above 
by a very conspicuous interscapulary band of lavender-gray, of the same 
color as the crown; this color is of a lighter shade than in O. aaillaris 
and the interscapulary band is much less distinct and not so pure gray 
in the latter. In O. everetti the green of the neck and breast is a shade 
lighter and more tinged with yellow, the abdomen paler and more grayish 
along the middle. Length, about 279; wing, 161 to 165 ( 2 162 to 165) ; 
tail, 91 to 92; bill, 19; tarsus, 23. ‘Iris greenish silvery’ (Everett) ; “iris 
pearly green ; bill red at base, blue at tip; feet pale slate.” (Guillemard.) 
I have no female of true O. axillaris to compare, but the female of 
O. everetti seems to be the larger, and the mantle much darker olive.” 
(Rothschild. ) 
I have seen no specimens of Everett’s green pigeon.
