WHITE-CROWNED PIGEON. 
Another species closely allied to, and perhaps identical with 
our Band-tailed Pigeon, (though we have equally good reasons for 
believing it the Columba rufina of Temminck) and of which we 
have not yet been able to procure specimens, is also well known 
to breed on the Florida keys; whither probably almost all the 
West-Indian species occasionally resort.
