p. 386 ; Schlegel, Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk. iii. pp. 201, 345. 



Ilab. Timor {type) ; Macassar, Flores ( Wallace) ; Tolofoko (northern peninsula of 

 Halmaheira), Little Key Island {Schlegel). 



The Celebean habitat of this Pigeon rests on the authority of Mr. Wallace {I. c). 

 The Gilolo bird discovered by the late Dr. Bernstein is stated by Professor Schlegel 

 {I. c.) not to differ from the type species. 



Myristicivora, Reichenbach. 



122. Mteisticiyora luctuosa (Reinw.), Temm. PL Col. livr. xlii. pi. 247 (26th Feb. 



1825) ; Wallace, Ibis, 1865, p. 386. 



Hah. Menado, Macassar, >Sula Islands {Wallace); Menado {mibs. nostr.). 



Professor Schlegel (Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk. iii. p. 343) mentions the fact that, in this 

 species only, the breast and abdomen are sometimes washed or even spotted with black. 

 Mr. Cassin (United States Exped. p. 266) pointed out that while C. Ucolor (Scop.) 

 possesses fourteen rectrices, the North-Australian C. luctuosa (=Jf. spilorrhoa, G. R. 

 Gray) has only twelve. An examination of examples in my collection fully bears out 

 this observation ; for I find that examples of 



1. M. bicolor (Scop.), ex New Guinea, has fourteen rectrices. 



2. „ „ ex Batchian, has fourteen rectrices. 



3. M. luctuosa (Reinw.), ex Sula Islands, has fourteen rectrices. 



4. „ „ ex Menado, has fourteen rectrices. 



5. „ „ ex Menado, has twelve rectrices. 



6. M. spilorrhoa, G. R. Gray, ex Port Albany, has twelve rectrices. 



7. „ „ ex Somerset, has twelve rectrices. 



The Menado example, with only twelve rectrices (no. 5), appears to have originally 

 possessed two more, which have been lost. 



Zoncenas, Reichenbach.

124. Hemiphaga forsteni (Temm.), Knipp. Pig. ii. pi. 47 ; Bp. Consp. ii. p. 39 ; Wallace, 



Ibis, 1865, p. 387. 



Hah. Menado ; appears to be confined to the mountainous district of Minahassa 

 ( Wallace).
