LEUCOTRERON. 39 
“Young male-—The whole of the upper parts is brownish bronze 
shot with green; the dull crimson of the top of the head and the free 
crimson webs of the secondaries are just beginning to make their ap- 
pearance; the whole of the feathers of the chest and upper breast are 
gray, widely tipped with bronze-green, the only patches of pure gray 
feathers being visible on each side of the neck. The orange-red breast- 
patch is represented by a deep orange feather in the middle of the chest 
and some dark carmine feathers. Otherwise the rest of the plumage is 
much like that of the adult.” (G@rant.) 
Marche’s fruit pigeon was described in 1880 from a single specimen 
which remained unique for fifteen years when Whitehead rediscovered 
the species in Lepanto. So far as we at present know, this species is 
confined to this subprovince and the neighboring subprovince of Bontoé. 
The Igorots say that at certain seasons of the year these birds become 
very fat and heavy and that they are then taken by pursuing them 
until they are exhausted. This account is probably correct as the speci- 
mens seen in the possession of the Igorots are not injured, while birds 
taken in snares or with bird-lime are seldom fit for specimens. This 
species may be recognized at once by the large red patch on the second- 
aries. In 1903 a pigeon, probably of this species, was killed in Bontoe 
by the Hon. Dean C. Worcester but the skin was lost.
