ORDER GALLINiE. 7^ 



Gm. Son. 104. Enl. 118. Tern. Pigeons, pi. 

 1. Vieil. Gal. 197- 



This is also allied to the last order, at least in 

 size, which is nearly equal to that of a turkey. 

 Slate-blue, with marron and white on the wing; 

 the head is ornamented with a crest of vertical 

 slender feathers. They are bred in the poultry- 

 yards in Java, &c. ; but the species has not hitherto 

 been propagated in Europe. 



M. Vieillot has made his genus Goura, or Lo- 

 PHYRUs, Galer. pi. 197> of this species 



Nicobar Pigeon. Lath. Col, Nicoharina. L. Enl. 



491. 



This is also allied to the poultry by the long and 

 loose feathers which adorn the neck, as in the 

 common cock. It is of a very brilliant golden- 

 green colour, with a white tail. It is found in 

 various parts of India.* 



The following species are also arranged in this 

 subgenus, which is scarcely determined enough. 



Blue-headed Turtle. Lath. Col. Cyanocephala. 

 Lath. Enl. 174. Vaill. 281. Tem. Pig. 3. 



Vinaceous-brown ; head and throat, blue ; subocular 

 spot, white. 



Partridge Pigeon. Lath. Col. Montana. Lath. 

 Edw. 119. Tem. 4. 



Rufous ; chest, vinaceous ; quills, rufous, with subo- 



* Male with a compressed caruncle.
