he saw what he calls the smaller bird in Palma. In his second article (J. f. O. 1857 p. 324, et 

 seq.) two species are recognized. The first is called Columba laurivora ; and it would appear 

 that this name is applied to Webb and Berthelot's bird, as now restricted to the so-called female 

 of those authors. The other is called, with doubt, C. bouvryi, Bp. But C. bouvryi, Bp., is 

 C. trocaz, Hein., the Madeiran bird, the occurrence of which in the Canaries there is no evidence 

 to show. This second smaller species referred to by Dr. Bolle, Mr. Godman described as new 

 under the name of Columba bollii, as it appears to be fairly distinguishable from, though tolerably 

 closely allied to, C. laurivora. 



I am indebted to Mr. Godman for two specimens, a pair, of this Pigeon, the male of which 

 I have figured and described. 



In the preparation of the above article I have examined the following specimens : —
