This fine Pigeon belongs to the group of P. rivolii, P. prasinor- 

 rhous and its allies. It seems to resemble P. speciosus of Schlegel 

 (Ned.Tijdschr. iv. p. 23) in having the upper part of the thoracic band 

 yellow, but differs much from that species in having the whole crown 

 of the head of a fine rosy red, like the patch in the middle of the 

 abdomen. 



I conclude these descriptions with a complete list of the species 

 in Signor d' Albertis' s present collection, with the localities at which 

 they were obtained.
