" I met with this Fruit-Pigeon on the mountains only, 

 where it was tolerably common, especially on the Iwaka 

 River. It was usually observed in pairs, when feeding on 

 the wild fruit of the larger trees. It has a low sweet ' coo,' 

 and its flight is like that of the allied species." — C.H. B, G.
