This small series varies much in the tint of the bronzy green 

 upper surface and in the degree of the vinaceous wash on the head 

 and neck. In size the birds agree with other specimens from the 

 south of the the Malay Peninsula and adjacent islands. The original 

 type locality given by Linnaeus was the Moluccas, where the species 

 is not found. 



Ducula badia badia (Raffles). 



Columha hadia, Raffles, Trans. Linn. Soc. xiii, 1822, p. 317 



( Sumatra ). 

 Carpophaya sp., A., p. 417 (Mergui); Anderson, Jouin. Linn. Soc, 



Zool., xxi, 1187, p. 151 (Sullivan Id., Mergui Archipelago). 



There is no definite record of this species in Peninsular or 

 S. W. Siam, though it is extremely common in the mountains 

 throughout the Federated Malay States, coming down to the coast at 

 certain seasons. It is almost certain to be found in the mountains of 

 Tranof or in the high mountains separating Patani from Perak. As 

 Hume observes, the fruit pigeons seen by Davison in immense 

 numbers at Mergui in August were probably this form. 

 26. Ducula badia griseicapilla Wald. 



Ducula griseicapilla, Wald., Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist ( 4 ) xvi, 

 1875, p. 228 (Karin Hills) ; G., p. 515 (Ratbuii and Petchaburi). 



Ducula insignis griseicapilla, Stuart Baker, Indian Pigeons and 

 Doves, 1913, p. 104, pi. 8. 



The only record for our area is that of Gairdner from Ratburi 

 or Petchaburi. All the forms of the subgenus currently accepted as 

 Ducula, with the possible exception of the Javan D. lavermilata and 

 allied races from Bali and Lombok, obviously stand in subspecific 

 relation to each other. The plate given by S. Baker, loc. cif., is brighter 

 on the shoulders than our specimens of D. h. griseicainlla from
