248 (1291). Chalcophaps indica, Linn. 

 Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds, IV, p. 26. 



Confined to the low-lying hot valleys. I once procured the skin of 

 a new species of this genus in the Mawkmai forests. This bird 

 differed in having a pure white (not grey) rump. The bill and feet 

 were of a horny-brown colour and not red. Otherwise it agreed 

 with G. indica. Unfortunately the skin was destroyed by dogs before 

 I could return to head-quarters. I noticed several individuals in the 

 forest in which I shot the specimen noted above.

" I have procured a most extraordinary bird for these hills (the 

 eastern slopes of the Crag at Taunggyi), viz., the Spotted Wood-pigeon. 

 This bird according to Blanford is confined to the Himalayas and 

 Eastern Thibet at altitudes of from 10,000 to 13,000 ft. in the summer. 

 I procured it at Taunggyi last Sunday 22nd April (the hottest time of 

 the year here is the end of April), on the Crag at about an altitude of 

 5600 ft. 1 saw several others at the same time." (Extract from a letter
