Iris orange, inner ring yellow ; orbital skin bluish ; bill 

 greenish-yellow or sulphur-yellow, yellow at the tip ; feet 

 rich magenta to dull bright pink. 



This species was not obtained either by Dr. Lorentz or by 

 A. S. Meek, who was collecting for the Tring Museum. Both 

 specimens are moulting heavily on the head and upper parts 

 o£ the body. 



Count Salvadori gives as the habitat of this species Aru 

 and Kei Islands, Timor Laut and Babbar. To these localities 

 Messrs. Rothschild and Hartert add Ban da and South-east 

 Islands, but the species does not appear to have been recorded 

 previously from the mainland of New Guinea. 



" Wallace^s Fruit-Pigeon was probably not such a scarce 

 bird as it appeared to be. It was most likely overlooked 

 among the many other species of the same genus, and the 

 specimens secured were certainly not distinguishable in the 

 jungle."— C.iZ.^. G.
