Professor Schlegel (7. ¢.) has detailed the characters which distinguish the several 
races of this Pigeon inhabiting the islands of Java, Flores, Celebes, Sula, Ceram, and 
Sanghir. They undoubtedly should receive distinguishing titles; for until they and 
analogous forms are separately named, the physical geographer will only find half the 
truth when studying zoological catalogues. ‘The Celebean bird has the yellow gular 
patch tinged with orange (conf. Schlegel, /. ¢.).

C. diademata, Temm., C. monacha, Reinwardt, and C. hypogastra, Reinwardt, belonging 
to the Ptilopodine, were erroneously described by Temminck as inhabiting Celebes 
(conf. Wallace, Ibis, 1865).

Hab. Macassar, Menado, Sula Islands (Wallace). 
A Philippine example in the Leyden Museum is stated by Professor Schlegel (J. c.) to 
resemble the Celebean bird. But the differential characters it possesses render it likely 
that the Philippine bird is specifically distinct. 'The examples in the same collection, 
said to have been brought from the Mariannes (?), differ but slightly from the Celebean 
species, according to Professor Schlegel. Both Prince Bonaparte and Mr. Wallace rank 
this fine Fruit-Pigeon under Ducula, Hodgs. It appears to me to be a typical Carpo- 
phaga, Selby. 
* T have not been able to refer to the first edition of Pennant’s ‘ Indian Zoology ;’ but if this species is there 
named, it will have to take Pennants title (1769).
