Z. 1878, p. 288. One specimen. I refer this Pigeon with some hesitation to 7. griseigularis, of which I have never seen a specimen, and only know it from Mr. Keuleman's figure in the Ibis for 1872 (pi. vi.). On the other hand, it is very closely allied to L. albigularis of the Moluccas, but differs in the greyish shade on the white throat, which is also more restricted, and in the forehead being grey with only a slight mark of lilac. 17.
