Treron nasica, Schl. 



Two specimens of this bird were obtained by Mr. Everett 

 at Banguey, off" the north coast of Borneo. One is a fully 

 adult bird, and the other probably a somewhat immature 

 female ; but unfortunately no particulars are given on the 

 collector's labels except the locality. This species may be 

 easily distinguished from the nearly allied forms T. nipalensis, 

 Hodgs., and T. griseicauda^ G. K. Gr., not only by its 

 smaller size, but by the ditference in the colour of the lesser 

 wing-coverts. The various differences may be tabulated as 

 follows : — 



Lesser wing-coverts pale grey. Cheeks green. Head 

 darker gi-ey on the top. Mantle uniform dull green. 

 "W. 5-3 in T. nasica. 



Lesser -wing-coverts dark blackish grey. Cheeks grey. 

 Head uniform light grey, like cheeks. Sides of 

 mantle washed with bufiy orange. W. 6-1 in T. griseicauda. 



Lesser wing-coverts dull vinous red, same as back. 

 Cheeks green. Head darker grey on the top. 

 Mantle uniform greyish green. W. 5-6 in T. nijyalensis.
