The Bronze Imperial Pigeon was fairly common in all 
the islands at the time of our visit but hard to get, as it 
was not flighting and always flew extremely high. The pair 
preserved are distinctly larger than those obtained in S.E. 
Siam by Mr. Kloss; wing 235 mm. against 209, but several 
names are available both for the eastern and southwestern 
races, if separated. All the Malayan birds belong to the 
typical Linnean race, whose type locality has been designated 
by Hartert as the Lesser Sunda Islands.

“Tris, inner ring yellow, outer orange shading into 
the inner ring, orbits plum, bill plum at base, whitish horn 
at tip, feet pinkish maroon. 
Two of these birds sexed male have the cap, pale pearly 
white very sharply defined, the bird marked female having 
it dull slate. A specimen from Terutau however which is 
sexed female in all respects resembles the males so that 
Stewart Barker is probably correct in his statement that the 
sexes, when fully adult, are identical in colouration. One 
male has the undersurface amethystine grey, not a somewhat 
vinaceous chestnut as in the other specimens. 
This magnificent pigeon was very common on Koh Muk 
during the three days we were there, though they only 
appeared at dusk, probably from the adjacent mainland, 
roosting in tall mangroves a little way back from the beach 
in parties of thirty or forty. As Bingham describes it, the 
note is a booming coo somewhat like that of Carpophaga 
aenea but not nearly so loud or deep.
