This Pigeon was fairly common, and we shot numerous 

 individuals, but did not preserve them because they were so 

 often damaged by shot or by their falls from tree-tops. The 

 three birds retained illustrate both the vinaceous and grey 

 phases of colour, the latter being shown by the two smaller 

 specimens. 



I was struck by the small size of the bills of my birds, but 

 the loan by Mr. W. J. F. Williamson of a series from various 

 parts of Siam, including three more specimens from Lat Bua 

 Kao, shows that this is only an individual peculiarity, though 

 none of the Siamese birds have bills quite so large as the 

 largest of a Malayan series.
