SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Greyifh-lead-coloured Pigeon, paler beneath, with the 
wings and tail blackifh; the latter marked by a pale 
bar. 
THE Pigeon here reprefented appears to be a {pecies 
hitherto undefcribed. In fize it nearly equals the Co- 
lumba Palumbus, or common Wood-pigeon. Its moft 
diftinguifhing character is the elegant femi-pendent 
occipital creft; a particular not often obfervable in birds 
of this genus.
