In ' The Ibis,' 1882, p. 344, Mr. Ramsay states his belief 

 that his P. corriei will prove to be Latham's Columba tan- 

 nensis. The description given by Bonaparte (/. c), to which 

 he refers, is not so minute as that given by Wagler and 

 Forster. The last corresponds in every detail with the 

 original description of P. corriei, mentioning " remigum trium 

 postremarum apicibus exterioribus, eisque respondentium 

 tectricum flavis," as Wagler puts it, — a point which at once 

 distintinguishes P. corriei. There can therefore be no doubt 

 that Mr. Ramsay's supposition is correct.
