Mr. Sharpe considers that this same species is found in Java and 

 Lombok, where it is M. emiliana of Bonaparte ; and that it occurs 

 even in Borneo. 



Two examples of this Pigeon were obtained in Sulu Island by 

 Mr. Burbidge.

This jungle-cock, though very numerous on Sulu Island, is but 

 rarely seen, owing to its haunting the thicker jungle and being very 

 shy. The natives snare it in numbers by tying up a captive in 

 well-known haunts of the species, and surrounding him with springes. 

 The wild birds, attracted by his crow, come down to fight, and are 

 quickly caught. In this manner it is only the cock bird that is ever 

 secured. I have never seen the hen, though I have had as many as 

 ten cocks tied up to the posts of the verandah. After a few days' 

 captivity they become even tamer than domestic fowls, and are 

 freely crossed with the. latter by the natives. The cocks have sickle- 

 feathers of extraordinary length.
