DR. JOHN ANDERSON ON BIRDS 



islands, besides supporting a small population of their own, were 

 visited by many birds from the main island (King Island) during 

 their daily wanderings in search of food, and this Pigeon was 

 among those visitors. It ranges from Tonghoo through Pegu to 

 Tenasserim, and in the latter province Davison observed it near 

 Mergui.

I observed a large Imperial Pigeon in Sullivan Island, but as 

 it was extremely wary, and frequented only the tops of the highest 

 trees in the densest parts of the forest, I did not succeed in 

 obtaining any examples. It may probably be O. insularis from 

 the Nicobar Islands, a species which Gates has suggested may 

 occur in the Archipelago.

 know, there is no record of its having been obtained so far north 

 before." (Wardlaw Ramsay.)
