MUSCADIVORES PALMASENSIS Mearns. 
PALMAS ISLAND IMPERIAL PIGEON. 
Muscadivores palmasensis MEARNS, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus. (1909), 36, 436. 
“Characters.—Closely related to Muscadivores pickeringi from Mangsee 
Island, north of Borneo, on the west side of the Sulu Sea; also to 
Muscadivores langhornei Mearns, from West Bolod Island, southeast of 
the Sulu Sea and near the Island of Basilan. From the type of 
pickeringt (Cat. No. 15,732 U. S. N. M.) it differs in being paler, with 
much less vinaceous color on the chin, throat, breast, and under tail- 
coverts. The wing is 10 mm. shorter. From langhornet, which it 
resembles more closely in the coloration of the under parts, it can be 
distinguished at a glance by the dark color of the mantle, rump, and 
upper tail-coverts. 
“Adult male (type, killed January 21).—Head, sat upper back, and 
upper parts, lilac-gray, purest on the upper side of the neck and upper 
back, washed with vinaceous on crown, ear-coverts, and breast, fading to 
whitish around base of bill, and shading to drab-gray on legs and crissum ; 
scapulars, back, ramp, and wing-coverts mouse-gray, lustrous in a certain 
light; wing-quills and upper tail-coverts dark mouse-gray, with subdued 
reflections of violet, coppery, and green; rectrices lustrous golden green 
above, smoke-gray below; flanks, axillars, and lining of wings clear gray. 
An adult male topotype in fresh plumage, shot by Dr. Paul C. Freer, 
October 7, 1906, only differs from the type in being appreciably darker, 
The sexes are practically alike in size and color. 
“Colors of soft parts—Two mated pairs, about to breed, had the soft 
parts colored exactly alike, January 21, 1906: Iris red; eyelids and feet 
vinaceous ; claws dusky purplish gray; bare space surrounding eye, pale
