* Leclancher’s pigeon is generally found in forest and, although widely 
distributed, it does not occur in great numbers, except when feeding in 
fruit trees; it appears to be strictly arboreal in habits. Specimens from 
Camiguin, Calayan, and Batan are considerably larger than specimens 
from more southern islands. The nest as observed in Camiguin, north 
of Luzon, was a slight platform of twigs placed on a horizontal branch at 
from 1.5 to 4.5 meters from the ground. Four nests contained but one 
egg each. ‘Three eggs are white in color and measure, respectively: 35 
by 23, 35 by 25, and 31 by 24. 
Genus LAMPROTRERON Bonaparte, 1854.

cut off of each feather.
