neck a changeable green ; somewhat smaller than the preceding, but 

 has similar habits. 



Col. livia, Briss. ; Biset, or Pigeon de roche; Enl. 510. (The 

 Biset, or Rock Dove). Slate-grey; circumference of the neck a 

 changeable green ; a double black band on the wing ; rump white. 

 This species is the parent stock of our Common Pigeon, and most 

 probably of all our innumerable domestic races, in whose production 

 the mixture of some neighbouring species may also have had some 

 influence. 



Col.turtur,!..; Tourterelle; En\. 394. (The Turtle Dove). A 

 fawn-coloured mantle spotted with brown ; neck bluish, with a spot 

 on each side speckled with white and black. The smallest of the 

 wild European species. It inhabits the woods like the Cushat. 



Col. risoria, L. ; Rieuse; Enl. 244; Frisch, 44; Tem. 44. (The 

 Ring Dove). Appears to be originally from Africa. It is of a 

 flaxen colour, paler beneath ; a black collar round the neck*. 



The species of this division are numerous, and may be still more sub- 

 divided, according as their tarsi are covered with feathers or not, and from 

 the naked space found round the eyes of some of them-f-. 



Some have even caruncles, and other naked parts on the head. 

 Such is the Gol, auricou; Col. auricularis, Tem. 21.
