As it is not intended to include in this work either figures 

 or lengthened descriptions of those birds which exist in this 

 country only in a domesticated state, I do not refer to the 

 Columha domestica of Pennant's British Zoology, vol. i. page 

 383, by including it among the synonymes, and reasons were 

 given under the head of Stock Dove for omitting also the 

 references in this instance to the works of Montagu, Bewick, 

 and Dr. Fleming.
