its habits are remarkably confiding and familiar, whence the specific 
name. 
OsmotrerOjST Phayrei, nobis, n. s . : Treron malabaricus apud nos, 
passim. Distinguished from Osm. malabaricus (verus) by having the 
entire cap ash-coloured in both sexes, and the male, by having a large 
ochreous patch on the breast. Common in Asam, Sylhet, Arakan, 
Pegu, Martaban, and rare in Lower Bengal. It is the only species of 
the group which I observed in the forests of the Yunzalin district, 
Upper Martaban, where exceedingly abundant. At Moulmein I 
obtained the Osm. bicinctus, (Jerdon). 
(The following kindred races have to be recognised,) 
Osm. malabaricus, (Jerdon), III. Incl. Orn.; Vinago aromatica et 
V. affinis, Jerdon, Catal. Has the forehead whitish-grey, and no 
defined ash-coloured cap, though a tinge of that colour on the 
crown. Throat and front of neck yellow. Malabar. JSI. B. The V. 
affinis , Jerdon, seems rather to accord with the female of Osm. 
Phayrei ; but the latter race can hardly occur in Malabar. 
Osm. elaycxiularis, nobis, J. A. S. XXVI, 225 ; Vinago aroma¬ 
tica apud Selby, Jardine’s Nat. libr., ‘ Pigeons,’ p. 97 ; V. aromatica 
var., Jerdon, Catal. Distinguished by its yellow forehead as well as 
throat, and by having the lower tail-coverts of the male white-tipped 
green, as in the female, and as in both sexes of Osm. ciiloroptera, 
nobis, of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ; whereas in the other 
species the lower tail-coverts of the male are of a dark cinnamon- 
colour. Hab. Malabar and Ceylon.
