BIRDS FROM PERAK. 141 
appears to descend from the hills to the plains during the 
month of April, May and June.” 
Macropygia, sp. 
“No. 60.—¢. Irides pale brown, with an inner ring of 
white; legs dull lake-red. Only one specimen of this hand- 
some tree-dove was procured, so it is probably rare. I shot 
it at upwards of 4,000 feet. 
“Some three years ago I shot a small reddish-brown dove, 
about 9g or 10 inches in length, near the top of the Larut hills, 
but unfortunately the skin was not preserved. I also found 
a nest belonging to the same species, which was built of 
twigs and contained white eggs. It was on the top of a small 
palm tree, about 5 feet from the ground. These two species 
and Carpophaga badia are the only representatives of the 
Columbz which I have seen in the upper parts of the moun- 
tains.” 
So far as I can see, this dove is MY. tusalia of Hodgson; but 
I must confess that the variations of plumage in this genus 
require more time to work out than I have at present at my 
disposal.
