10 TURTUR SENEGALENSIS.-— SYRRHAPTES PARADOXUS. 
TURTUR SENEGALENSIS (Linneus). 
[§ 2864. Two.—Jcricho, 18 April, 1864. From Mr. Tristram. 
From a nest in a zizyphus tree. The Canon’s notes on the Turtle-Doves of 
the Holy Land are contained in ‘ The Ibis’ for 1868 (pp. 210, 211), and were 
ae > . om x ~ . . pst 
vepeated in a somewhat extended form in his ‘ Fauna and Flora of Palestine 
(pp. 120, 121).] 
TURTUR RISORIUS (Linneus). 
BARBARY DOVE. 
(§ 2865. One.—Exning, Suffolk, 1846. From Mr. I. F. 
Dobede. (Laid by a tame bird.)| 
[§ 2865. Two.—Jericho, 18 April, 1€64. From Mr. Tristram. 
Into the question of the wild original form of the domesticated 7. risorius 
I am not prepared to enter. Canon Tristram’s notes already referred to 
(§ 2864) shew his view of the case; but considerable weight is due to the 
contrary opinion expressed by Mr. Blyth (Ibis, 1567, p. 151) and others since 
his time. | 
[§ 2867. Oxe.—From the late Mr. Scales’s Collection, 1885.] 
SYRRHAPTES PARADOXUS (Pallas). 
[§ 2868. One.—Gardens of the Zoological Society of London, 
21 June, 1861. 
Proce. Zool. Soe. 1861, tab. xxxix. fig. 1. 
This was the first egg laid by one of the birds sent from China in 1861, 
and I exhibited it at the meeting of the Society on the 10th of December 
(Proc. Zool. Soc. 1861, p. 577). It was afterwards figured as above. | 
[§ 2869. Zwo.—Gardens of the Zeological Society, 1863. 
These were believed by Mr, Bartlett to have been laid by the same Chinese 
bird as laid the egg I had in 1861 (§ 2868), She died in 1864, the last of her 
fellow captives. Mr. Rowley had some eggs laid by her in 1862. One of 
these eggs looks like that of an exhausted bird.)
