WATTLED GOURA 123 



differs in the colours being less brilliant, and in 

 the pointed feathers of the neck being shorter ; 

 she is also destitute of the caruncle at the base of 

 the beak. Inhabits the Moluccas, and other of 

 the Indian islands. 



This bird has a great affinity to those of the 

 genus Columba, but may be readily distinguished 

 from them by the form of the beak and other parts, 

 as detailed in the generic character: its manners 

 too are totally different ; it lives on the ground, 

 and subsists upon fruits.
