Five specimens of this handsome pigeon were collectecl at Tongatabu 

 in the Tonga Islands on '.iO No\"eml)er. One other has the locality 

 uncertain but probably came from this same island. Three males in a 

 series of four have an ochraceous orange band across the breast, 

 while in the fourth this band is barely indicated. One female has the 

 shorter under tail coverts tipped with red and their bases and the 

 longer feathers yellow. Another (place of capture .somewhat uncer- 

 tain) has the under tail coverts entirelv vellow.

 Marquesas Group). 



Eight specimens, six of them males, were taken at Xukuhiva, Mar- 

 quesas Islands, on 10 September. The males vary in the amount of 

 reddi.sh orange on the underparts. One adult female resembles the 

 males but has less of this bright color below than the more highly 

 colored specimens. An immature female has the reddish orange patch 

 below as in adults while the crown cap Ls grayer and much obscured 

 posteriorly by greenish tips on the feathers. The bill in this species 

 is dusky, the feet brownish.
