fore-part ot" the black ring round the neck more distinctly 

 spotted with dull whitish, producing a mottled appearance. 

 In the male the spotting is scarcely apparent. 



Two Fruit-Pigeon's eggs were brought in by natives, who 

 pointed out No. 1155 as the parent bird. Mr. Claude Grant 

 was satisfied as to the correctness of this identification. The 

 eggs are of a regular oval shape, pure white, and slightly 

 glossy. They measure respectively 46 x 33 and 45'5 x 

 34 mm. 



" Miiller's Fruit- Pigeon was observed both at Wakatimi 

 and on the coast, but Avas distinctly scarce. It was usually 

 seen in pairs, and had the same flight and habits as the 

 other large Pigeons.'' — C. H. B. G.
