Basilan only to reappear in Syjge In the face of Count Salvadori’s 
identification of Guillemard’s specimen, however, we have nothing to say.

Bohol (Steere Exp., McGregor) ; Siquijor (Bourns & Worcester, Celestino) . 
Adult male (type).—General color brown, much darker above, with 
iridescent reflections most pronounced on nape, mantle, and breast; 
merging rather abruptly into dark gray of crown; occiput, nape, and 
sides of head ruddy brown; from gape a narrow brown line passing 
below eye with a wider white line underneath, both lines reaching beyond 
ear-coverts; chin white, gradually changing to gray on throat and ochra- 
ceous on breast and abdomen; under tail-coverts and a wide band at end 
of tail pale french-gray; wings uniform with the back; primaries with a 
narrow light brown edge on outer webs; with the bird held toward 
the light the occiput and nape are glossed with green, followed by a 
patch of metallic blue, this followed on interscapulars by a wide band 
of metallic green extending to sides of neck and narrowly bordered 
behind by blue; the wings and remaining upper parts have a dull green 
gloss; with the bird held away from the light the green changes to purple 
and this metallic color shows also on throat, breast, and sides of neck. 
Length, 234; wing, 122; tail, 81; culmen from base, 16; tarsus, 17. 
Female.—Similar to the male. In this species the terminal half of 
bill is black; basal half of bill, skin around eyes, and feet dull crimson; 
iris brown; nails gray. 
Hgg.—A hard-shelled egg was taken from a female killed on June 7, 
1906; another egg, obtained in the same manner four days later, meas- 
ures 27 by 21 and is pure white in color. 
This species is most closely related to P. brevirostris but it differs in 
having a white forehead and brown subocular line. 
Subfamily PTILOPODIN 2. 
Forest inhabiting pigeons of medium size; upper surface rich green; 
no band across lower back.
