TOP KNOT PIGEON . — -lopholdwius Antdrcticiis . 
The splendid Top-Knot Pigeon is one of the handsomest of the tribe, and in 
any collection of birds would be one of the most conspicuous species. 
It is a native of southern and eastern Australia, and according to Mr. Gould, 
is most plentifully found in the bushes of the Illawarra and Hunter rivers. The 
powerful feet and general structure point it out as an arboreal bird, and it is so 
exclusively found in the trees that it will not even perch among the underwood, 
but must needs take its place on the branches of lofty trees.
