Norz.—The ptilonopus, mentioned on page 102, is nearly allied to the Columba rivoli, 
Fi. prev., figured in the Iconographie Ornithologique of O. des Murs, pl. iv., who states 
that the specimen is in the Parisian Museum, and that its locality is unknown. The 
bird brought by the Rattlesnake differs from O. des Murs’ figure, in wanting the pinkish 
purple, which there is represented as covering the centre of the abdomen, that part with 
the vent and under tail-covers being in the present bird of a pale lemon yellow. They 
are most probably distinct, and if so, Mr. Gould has suggested the specific name of 
P. strophium for it—W. J.
