Greenish yellow, richer on the rump, and lighter beneath ; top of 
head and cheeks m front of the eyes ashy blue, paler near the bill ; 
keel of the bill bare above the nostrils ; chin nearly white ; sides of 
the neck above and between the shoulders tinged with orange-brown; 
wings slaty black ; secondaries and wing-coverts more or less broadly 
yellow-margined ; under tail-coverts rufous, more or less marked 
with white and green at the base and on the thighs; tail with the 
two middle feathers entirely olive-yellow, the rest slaty black with 
a broad terminal band of ashy white ; wings beneath, under wing- 
coverts, and sides of the body ash-coloured ; bill pale yellow-green, 
the base dark olive-green ; iris red; orbits bare, green; feet red. 
The female wants the purple colour on the back and wings, and has 
the under tail-coverts white or rufous white, more or less green- 
spotted. 
Total length 103 inches; wing 6 inches. 
Hab. Sula Islands and Celebes. 
Remark.—I have compared this with a specimen named by Mr. 
G. R. Gray, in the British Museum. 
PTILONOPUS MELANOCEFHALUS, var. 
Columba melanocephala, Gm.; Knip, Pig. i. t. 30. 
The numerous specimens sent are all slightly different from those 
obtained in Java, Lombock, and Celebes—the yellow streak on the 
throat being of a much deeper colour, and the black occipital patch 
decidedly smaller. 
In the Java bird the bill is yellow, with a greenish horny tip, the 
bare skin of the orbits is green, the feet pink, and the iris yellow. 
Hab. Sula Islands, Celebes, Lombock, and Java. 
CARPOPHAGA LUCTUOSA. 
Columba luctuosa, Reinw.; Temm. Pl. Col. 247. 
The specimens agree with those from Celebes; but a variety 
occurs with the outer tail-feathers black at the tip. This species 
may be at once distinguished from others of the white group of Car- 
pophaga (Myristicivora) by the powdery-white colour almost con- 
cealing the black of the wings.
