622 Birds of Celebes: Treronidae. 
This species may be distinguished at once from the allied Fruit-pigeons of 
the Celebesian subregion by its grey, not chestnut, under tail- coverts. Count 
Salvadori places it next to C. cinemcea (Temm.) of Timor, which has a dark 
ashy brown back and ochreous abdomen and under tail-coverts. Like C. co^icinna, 
C. pickerirtgi seems to be of insular or oceanic habits; it is known from small 
islands between Borneo, Celebes and the Philippines, but not as yet on the 
surrounding mainlands.
