Ocyphaps Gould.* 
Bill moderate, strong, the apical half of each mandible vaulted and arched ; the sides compressed ; 
the nostrils lateral and longitudinal. Wings lengthened and pointed, with the third quill rather longer 
than the others, and narrowed for some length from the tip. Tail long, and rounded on the sides. 
Tarsi robust, nearly as long as the middle toe, and covered in front with transverse scales. Toes long, 
with the outer one longer than the inner, and margined on the sides by a membrane ; the claws moderate 
and curved. 
This elegant pigeon is an 
inhabitant of the interior parts of Australia. It seems to prefer marshy situations or the 
valleys which are covered with water at some part of the year. It frequently, observes Mr. Gould, assembles in very 
lam-e flocks, and when it visits the lagoons or river sides for water, during the dry seasons, generally selects a single 
tree or even a particular branch, on which to congregate in very great numbers, perching side by side, and all 
descending simultaneously to drink. It possesses great power of flight. The female forms its nest in a low tree ; it is 
slightly composed of small twigs, in which are laid two eggs.
