 leaden black, with narrower margins of coppery violet ; under 

 wing-coverts and axillaries leaden grey ; wings above black, 

 washed with leaden grey, the coverts narrowly edged with the 

 same colour as the back, the margins also very narrow on the

On comparing more closely the Pigeon described by me as /. 

 rawlinsoni, I have come to the conclusion that it must not be se- 

 parated from I. alhigularis, Bp. ; there are some slight differences 

 between it and the Mysore skin in the Museum, but not sufficient 

 to warrant me in sustaining the species.
