   Hab. 
  Island 
  of 
  Jobi, 
  in 
  the 
  Bay 
  of 
  Geelvink. 
  

   In 
  his 
  notes 
  Mr. 
  Rothschild 
  pointed 
  out 
  that 
  this 
  new 
  species 
  

   was 
  intermediate 
  to 
  a 
  great 
  extent 
  between 
  P. 
  pectoralis 
  and 
  

   P. 
  musschenbroeki. 
  It 
  was, 
  however, 
  most 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  

   P. 
  pectoralis, 
  from 
  which 
  species 
  it 
  was 
  distinguishable 
  by 
  the 
  

   generally 
  lighter 
  shade 
  of 
  the 
  ground-colour 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  

   characters 
  given 
  above 
  in 
  the 
  diagnosis. 
  The 
  purple 
  pectoral 
  

   patch, 
  which 
  was 
  somewhat 
  irregular 
  in 
  shape 
  in 
  P. 
  pectoralis, 
  

   was 
  slightly 
  larger 
  in 
  P. 
  salvadorii. 
  It 
  was 
  much 
  smaller 
  than 
  

   in 
  P. 
  musschenbroeki, 
  and 
  its 
  inferior 
  margin 
  formed 
  a 
  straight 
  

   line. 
  In 
  P. 
  pectoralis 
  the 
  lesser 
  wing-coverts 
  were 
  entirely 
  

   unspotted, 
  in 
  P. 
  musschenbroeki 
  they 
  had 
  a 
  large 
  cinereous 
  

   patch, 
  Avhile 
  in 
  P. 
  salvadorii 
  they 
  had 
  several 
  distinct 
  and 
  

   separate 
  spots 
  of 
  grey. 
  

  

  The 
  types 
  had 
  been 
  forwarded 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Rothschild 
  from 
  Sou- 
  

   roui, 
  in 
  the 
  island 
  of 
  Jobi, 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  Mr. 
  A. 
  Bruijn, 
  and 
  

   had 
  been 
  procured 
  in 
  January. 
  Mr. 
  Rothschild 
  had 
  named 
  

   the 
  species 
  in 
  honour 
  of 
  Count 
  Tommaso 
  Salvador!, 
  whose 
  

   knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  family 
  of 
  Pigeons 
  was 
  unrivalled.
