Dear Sir : - 
I know you will he pleased to learn of the capture here, yester¬ 
day, of a fine female Columba corensis. The bird was killed by a 
local hunter, and was brought to me in the flesh late yesterday after¬ 
noon. It is in fresh plumage, just a few pin feathers of a recent 
, i 
moult remaining here and there. Unfortunately but six or seven of the 
tail feathers remain, the others having been shot away. I desire 
to record this capture in the next Auk, over my own signature. 
Your’s truly,
