 Everett. 



i\Ir. Ekxst Hartert exhibited specimens of three new 

 Pigeons discovered on the Island of Obi ]\Iajor (or Obi)^ 

 ]\Ioluccas, by ]\Ir. William Doherty. He characterized them 

 as follows : — 



Carpophaga obieksis_, sp. n. 



Of the same pattern of coloration and the same dimensions 

 as C. basilica, of the Northern ?.Ioluccas, but the entire 

 head_, throat, fore-neck, and breast much deeper vinous, with 

 a greyish wash ; hind-neck darker grey, separated from the 

 vinous head by a rusty patch. Abdomen and under tail- 

 coverts deep cinnamon_, instead of pale cinnamon. 



Ptilinopus granulifrons, sp. n. 



This remarkable new species entirely agrees in the pattern 

 of its coloration with P. hyog aster (Temm.) from Halmahcra 

 and Batjan, but differs in the following points : — On the 

 forehead, at the base of the bill, is a mass of fleshy knobs, 

 of which there is no sign in P. hyogasier. The green 

 of the back, and especially of the breast, is much more 

 yellowish. The grey of the head is lighter and covers also 

 the occiput. The vent and under tail-coverts are of a paler 

 lemon-yellow. The wing is generally a little shorter, measur- 

 ing 122-132 mm. 



ReIXWARDTCENAS REINWARDTl OBIENSIS, Subsp. U. 



Differs from the smaller form of Reinwai'dtanas rein- 

 rvardti, of the Northern Moluccas, in having the chin and 

 cheeks washed with yellowish bufi'. 



]\Ir. G. E. H. Barrett-Hamilton e.xhibited specimens of 

 ornaments made in Canton — the foundation being of silver, 

 with a minute inlaying of blue feathers from several species 

 of birds ; the appearance produced being that of enamel.
