those of the two latter inclining to greyish on their 

 webs : the top of the head is of a bright red : the 

 neck, the upper part of the back, and the breast 

 greyish, glossed with bluish : the legs, which, as 

 well as the tarsi, are covered with feathers, are of 

 a greyish ash, as are the toes and claws. The red- 

 crowned Pigeon is remarkable for the fleshy sub- 

 stance on the upper mandible of the beak, which 

 is varied with many small tubercles, and covered 

 with very fine short downy feathers : the feathers 

 of the neck are also very remarkable, being very 

 much elongated, and terminating in a sharp point ; 

 they are of a triangular shape at their tips.
