*}7. BUTRERON CAPELLEI—THE LARGER THICK-BILLED GREEN PIGEON. 
Butreron capellei (Temm.); Salvad. t.c., p. 32; Sharpe, t.c., p. 53. 
s species, the largest of the Green Pigeons of the Malay Penin- 
ck is more of a true jungle bird than any of its relatives. Itis found 
айо the low country forests on both sides of the Peninsula, but 
oes not seem to ascend the mountains. It is met with in flocks of 
from ten to Pide to as many as forty and fifty, and in common with 
many other birds is especially fond of the fruit of the kayu ara, a 
variety of pne: fig, which attains a very great height. Nothing is 
known of the nest and eggs.

8. SPHENOCERCUS KORTHALSI—THE WEDGE-TAILED GREEN PIGEON. 
Sphenocereus korthalsi (Temm.); Salvad. t.c., p. 11; Sharpe, 
l.c., p. 92. 
The Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon can readily be distinguished from 
all others by baving the central tail feathers considerably longer than 
the lateral ones and somewhat acuminate. le has а maroon 
patch at the angle of the wing and an ill-defined rufous band across 
the breast, the female is more or less uniform green. 
There are six or seven members of this genus the females of which 
ier те one another very closely, so that it is possible that when males 
e been obtained the Malayan form will prove to be distinct from 
ынай, with which I have previas an it. 
ALITIES IN THE PENINSULA.—A single female specimen was 
shot on Gunong Mengkuang Lebir, at an е of 5,400 feet, on 
4th April, 1905. The species has also been rted from “ Malacca,” 
report 
but the report has been generally discredited. In view of the present 
imen, however, it is quite possible that it occurs in the hills 
Tm Mount Ophir. 
"ERAT Rance,—Java and Sumatra, at considerable elevations.
