“Trides orange, or red whitish or hazel in young birds, 
bill sage green, tarsi and toes coral pink, claws dark.” 
This beautiful fruit-dove was fairly common in the neigh- 
bourhood of Sungei Kumbang, below which it did not occur, 
but was much more abundant in the vicinity of the lower 
camp on the Peak itself, at 7,000 feet, though it was not met 
with much above this limit. Like others of the genus it isa 
silent and somewhat sluggish bird, met with in pairs or small 
parties of three or four on high trees, amongst the foliage of 
which it was very difficult to discern. 
Sexual differences exist but adult females are difficult to 
separate from somewhat younger males. The white thoracic 
band is not so broad or weil defined in females as in adult 
males, and the succeeding dark band is more greenish and less 
black, while the grey on the abdomen is less extensive. 
The rose colour of the throat, breast and head is less pure, 
most of the feathers having green edges, while nearly all adult 
males have the pink of the hind-neck separated from the green 
of the mantle by a narrow whitish pink line, which is not 
present in females, though this feature is not absolutely 
constant. 
Young birds are entirely green above, the feathers of the 
abdomen, the wing coverts and the secondaries being tipped 
and edged with primrose yellow, these markings being retained 
until after the rose pink of the breast and head has begun to 
make its appearance. 
We can detect no differences between Sumatran and 
West Javan birds, the latter place being the typical locality.

“Tris white, orbital skin crimson lake, bill and cere pinkish 
maroon, tip whitish horn, feet pinkish claret, claws horn.” 
Fairly common in deep jungle from about 4,000 feet up to 
the limit of vegetation, its deep booming note being often 
heard. 
Comparison of the above four specimens with a series of 
nine from various parts of the Malay Peninsula show that the 
majority of the latter differ in having the pileum and sides of 
Part Il: Vertebrata.
