Pigeons of the Malay Archipelago. 389 



Bill red, tip white ; iris ochre-orange ; orbits red ; feet dull 

 coral-red; claws pale. Length 15|^ in. 



I cannot find that this bird was described by any one previous 

 to the publication of Bonaparte's ' Conspectus ' ; his name must 

 therefore be adopted in preference to the catalogue name " alho- 

 gularis."

Hab. Ceram [Leyden Mus.) . 



Bonaparte says this has a smaller bill than the last species. 

 I heard of its existence in Ceram, but did not obtain a specimen.
