discovery, — and acted upon it pretty frequently — that like other green 
pigeons, it is very good eating. Measurement in inches : wing 6'35, bill at 
front '65, tail 4'25, tarsus '85. 
45. Caepophaga sylvattca, Tiekell. 
The identity of Andaman with Indian specimens of this bird has been 
fully established. The collection contains three specimens. 
Bam. Coittmbhue. 
46. Teethe httmixis, Temm. 
One specimen. The upper parts are of a rather deeper tint than in 
most Indian specimens. 
47. Maceopygia ehfipennis, Blyth, J. A. S. B. XV, p. 371. 
Three specimens, two of which, marked <J, have the rufous of the 
neck, upper part of the back, breast and abdomen barred with dark brown 
slightly undulating lines, which are close and distinct to the breast ; thence 
to the vent they are wider apart, broken and fainter. 
In a fourth specimen which is somewhat smaller, and may be either a 
young bird or the female, the bars are confined to the back of the neck, and 
the rufous of the wing coverts, edges of the wings, throat and abdomen is 
of a deeper tint approaching to bay. 
Mr. Blyth in his original description has pointed out the characters 
which distinguish this species, — the smaller size, and rufous underneath the 
wings — from M. phasianella, Gould. 
The following are the dimensions of a male : length 14T5 ; wing 7'5 ; 
bill at front '6 ; tarsus '9 inch. 
Bam. Goueidje. 
48. Chalcopiiaps I \btctjs, Linn. 
Three specimens. Mr Blyth observes (Ibis, N. S. IV, 1868, p. 133) : 
“ I could perceive no difference between Andaman specimens and those from 
India and Barma, whereas the Nicobar race accords with the description of 
C. augusta, Bp. [Oomptes rendus, 1855].” 
Bam. Gbaeeoeida;. 
t 49. Geaeeola oeientalis, Leach. 
The collection contains two specimens which correspond exactly with 
specimens in the Indian Museum from the vicinity of Calcutta (Blyth’s Ca- 
talogue, No. 1543). 
Bam. CHAEADEIDiE. 
t 50. CiiABADEius longipes, Temm. 
Two specimens shot in May. In one the black of the summer plumage 
is beginning to appear.
