Obs. Species forma M. reinwardti oinnino similis, dorso caudaque 
schistaceis nec castaneis diversa. 
A single skin of this remarkable Pigeon is in the collection. It 
appears to be in every respect a close ally of M. reinwardti, which 
has a wide range over New Guinea and the Moluccas. My speci- 
men is marked ‘ male, legs red,” and is obviously adult. Dr. Sal- 
vadori kindly tells me that he has seen several young specimens of 
M. reinwardti with the back and wings blackish; but I cannot 
believe that the present example is otherwise than mature.

Under this name I place two examples, adult and young, from 
Duke-of-York Island, of a representative of the wide-ranging form 
which Schlegel (Mus. P.-B. Col. p. 110) calls M. turtur, but for 
which the oldest name, if all the forms are to be referred to one 
species, is amboinensis (Linn.). 
Bonaparte’s description of his M. carteretia from New Ireland is 
evidently that of a young bird, and, so far as it goes, suits my young 
specimen pretty fairly.

An adult bird from New Ireland (Nov. 1875) and a young bird 
from Duke-of-York Island (Oct. 1875) seem to be referable to this 
recently described species, which is one of the recent discoveries on 
Mount Arfak. 
The young bird has the head, neck, and breast of a much brighter 
colour, and freckled with transverse black markings, except on the 
throat. 
The measurements, which are as follows, seem to be slightly inferior 
to those given by Count Salvadori.

A pair of this species, with the exact locality not given. In the 
female the forehead is grey instead of white, and there is no purplish 
colour on the head and nape.
