The Hon. Walter Pothschild communicated the descrip- 

 tion of a nen' species of Pigeon of the genus Plilopus, which 

 he pro[)Osed to call — 



Ptilopus salvadorii, sp. n. 

 P. P. pectorali affiuis, sed rostro lon^'iore, colore lajtiora, 

 tectricibus alarum minoribus albo-cinerascente pustu- 

 latis, et gula iuferiore luteo tincta baud difficile distin- 

 guendus. Long. tot. 8, ahe ^"4, caudte 25. 

 Hab. Island of Jobi, in the Bay of Geelviak. 

 ?*[r. Rorhschild pointed out that this new species was 

 intermediate to a great extent between P. pectorahs and 

 P. mu.ssche/)broeki. It is, however, most closely allied to 

 P. pectoralis, from which s[)ecies it is distinguished by the 

 generally lighter shade of the ground-colour and by the 

 characters given above in the diagnosis. The purple pectoral 

 patjh, which is somewhat irregular in shape in P. pectoralis, 

 is sligiitly larger in P. salvadoril. It is much smaller than 

 ill P. niusschenbroeki, and its inferior margin forms a straight 

 line. In P. pectoralis the lesser -wing-coverts are entirely 

 unspotted, in P. niusschenbroeki they have a large ci.icreous 

 patch, while in P. salvadorii they have se\'eral distinct and 

 .M[);u'ate NHors of gr('\'.
