"Plentiful everywhere; feeds on fruits and berries" (Ussher). Native name " Punie kurackow " (Treacher). 102. TRERON OLAX (Temm.). Treron olax, Salvad. t. c. p. 289. Governor Ussher writes:-"Not so common as T. vernans, but occasionally to be met with. It is of similar habits, but more retiring than the above-mentioned bird." Native name "Punie suit" (Treacher), 103. CALOSNAS NICOBARICA. Calcenas nicobarica, Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1875, p. 110. Governor Ussher observes, in a letter dated August 5th, 1877, " Buak has succeeded in establishing two additional birds for Labuan. One is the grey-and-white Eagle (II. leucogaster); and the other is the beautiful green-hackled Pigeon (Caloenas nicobarica), two fine specimens of which he got on Pappan Island, a mile from the harbour. Low had two in confinement, but could tell nothing of them. Rajah Brooke had one alive in Sarawak. Two I saw from Saigon ; and I sent you one from Brunei; and now it is established in the Labuan list. I was sure that I had seen it in Enoe and Burong Islands ; now it is a certainty." Since the Governor's return to England, Mr. Treacher has procured this bird on the island of Labuan itself, where I had heard of its occurrence also from Mr. Burbidge. The native name, according to Mr. Treacher, is "Jan junli." 104. PTILOPUS JAMBU (Gm.). Ptilopus jambu, Salvad. t. c. p. 289 ; Elliot, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 554. Governor Ussher sends a specimen of a male. "This lovely Pigeon was shot in August of this year, 1876, near the Kina Banua river, towards the southern end of the island ; have not observed it before, nor noticed it in Mr. Low's collections. I know nothing of its habits, and did not observe it before August." 105. CARPOPHAGA .ENEA (L.). Carpophaga cenea, Salvad. t. c. p. 290. " Common in Labuan and its islands, but shy and difficult of approach. At certain seasons it feeds voraciously on the fruit of the many varieties of the Ficus indicus in these parts, and swallows the fruit whole: the latter is about as large as a sloe-berry; and I have found their crops full of them." (Ussher.) Mr. Low sends a single egg, which is pure white; axis 1*7 in., diam. 1*25 in. 106. CARPOPHAGA BICOLOR (Scop.). Carpophaga bicolor, Salvad. t. c. p. 2<)2.
