The species of this division are numerous, and may be still more 
subdivided, according to the greater or less nudity of their tarsi, and 
from the naked space found round the eyes of some of them.(1) 
Some have even caruncles, and other naked parts on the head. 
Such is the Col. auricou; Col. auricularis, Tem., 21. 
We can also separate some species with pointed tails.(2) 
But the best of all the divisions that have been made among the 
Pigeons, is that of, 
Vinaco, Cuv.—Corumpars, Vaill.(3) 
Known by the bill, which is thicker, formed of a solid substance, 
and compressed on the sides; the tarsi are short, the feet wide and 
well bordered. They all feed on fruit, and inhabit forests. But few 
species are known, all of which are from the torrid zone of the east- 
ern continent.(4) Some of them have a pointed tail.(5)
