242 Major R. G. Wardlaw Ramsay on 



Specimens from New Guinea have the breast pale lavender 

 in place of pure white. 



Young. A young female from Andai has the upper surface 

 brown, changing into chestnut, the tail and wing-coverts as 

 in the adult, but much deeper chestnut; beneath, from the 

 breast, as in the adult : otherwise all the parts which are 

 lavender or white in the adult are dull earthy brown, with a 

 few lavender feathers tipped with rufous appearing on the head 

 and neck. Wing 8*7 to 9*3 inches, tail 10 to 12, tarsus 1-1, 

 bill 1 to 1-1. 



Hab. Lombock, Flores, Celebes, and New Guinea, including 

 nearly all the intervening islands from Morty in the north 

 to Amboina in the south.
