I have compared this series with specimens from Curacao, 
Bonaire, and Aruba, kindly lent me for comparison by the 
Tring Museum, and I can discover no differences. Apparently 
this pale form inhabits all the islands lying north of the 
mainland of Venezuela, for I have in my collection a series 
of eight Ground-Doves shot on Blanquilla Island which are 
identical with this bird, and I have recently found the same 
form on the Los Hermanos group of islands.

Although the two adult specimens which I obtained agree 
in coloration of plumage with Mr. Richmond’s description 
of the Margarita bird, yet I find that they can be exactly 
matched with specimens of L. verreauxi from Trinidad. 
The measurement of the wings in both is 5°30 inches. 
The colours of the soft parts in the quite fresh state are :— 
Circumorbital space bright cobalt-blue. Iris dirty yellow. 
Bill uniformly black ; tarsi and feet reddish pink. 
Mr. Hellmayr (‘ Novitates Zoologicz,’ vol. xiii. no. 1, 1906) 
has lately stated in a paper on the birds of Trinidad that 
“the birds from Trinidad, Tobago, and Venezuela are 
absolutely identical with the one from Margarita Island.”
