276. Carpophaga bicolor (Scop.).

277. Chalcophaps indica (L.). 
[Common in the S.E. monsoon, when this little Pigeon is caught in hundreds by the natives, who 
build a small covered place on the ground, round which they place some grain, and then attract the 
Pigeons with a peculiar bamboo calling-instrument, with a booming note like that of the birds 
(cf. Burbidge, P. Z. S. 1879, p. 347). The Pigeons then settle, and are noosed in numbers by the native 
only a few feet off. This bird has a tender skin, and is difficult to preserve neatly. The flesh is very 
sweet and much sought after by all in the East. Where these Pigeons come from, or where they go to, 
I am unable to say ; but I never met with a native who had seen their nest. 
Native name “Punei tanah,” or “ Earth Pigeon.”]
