218 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS 
COLUMBID. 
TantHa@nas, Reichenbach. 
145, * IANTH@NAS GRISEOGULARIS. 
Tanthenas griseogularis, Walden & Layard, Ibis, 1872, p. 104, pl. 6, “ Guimaras ” (April, 1872). 
Carpophaga metallica, var., Schlegel, Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk. 1866, p. 202, “ Luzon.” 
Janthenas luzoniensis, Siblesel Mus. Pays-Bas, Columbe, p. 75, “ Luzon” (March, 1873). 
Hab. Guimaras (Meyer) ; Luzon ((evers). 
Discriminated, described, figured, and named for the first time in 1872 by the 1 two 
English authors above cited, from an individual obtained in the island of Guimaras. 
Professor Schlegel in 1873 (/. c.) again named it, and quoted its original title as a 
synonym. As the species is not confined to the island of Luzon the last title is also 
misleading. 
Macropyera, Swainson. 
146. * MAcRoPYGIA TENUIROSTRIS. 
Macropygia tenuirostris, G. R. Gray, List Birds Brit. Mus. Columba, p. 39, “ Philippines,” descr. 
nulla (1856) ; Bp. Consp. ii. p. 57, “ Philippmes” (1857). 
Columba phasianella, Temm, Pl. Col. 100, “ Manilla,” nec Temm. Tr. Linn. Soe. xiii. p. 129. 
Hab. Luzon, Negros (Meyer). 
This species belongs to the same section as M. phasianella (Temm.), and J. 
emiliana, Bp. 
In Negros Dr. Meyer obtained a single example of a Macropygia which differs from 
the Luzon species in having the back and uropygium dark brown without a trace of 
rufous, in the shoulder-coverts being uniform brown, not edged with rufous, in the 
upper surface of the middle pair of rectrices being brown like the back, and in having 
a black band traversing the whole breadth of the second and third outer pair of rectrices 
(the first pair are wanting). This individual is stated on the label to be a male, while 
the Luzon example with which the above comparison is made is marked a female. 
The differences observable may therefore be sexual. 
M. tenuirostris is stated by Professor Schlegel (Mus. Pays-Bas, Columba, p. 109) to 
belong to the Javan and Lombock species, M. emiliana, Bp.,—an opinion in which I 
regret I cannot concur. Besides being considerably smaller, M. emiliana has the 
upper plumage of a much lighter and clearer rufous, and the upper surface of the 
rectrices are pure light rufous, and not brown. 
Turtur, Selby 
147. * TuRTUR DUSSUMIERI. 
Columba dussumieri, Temm. PI. Col. 188, “ Lucon ” (1823). 
Hab. Luzon and Negros (Meyer).
