Note 8 — Chapter VI · PIGEONS—continued.

Temminck, ‘Hist. Nat. Gén. des Pigeons,’ tom. i.; also ‘Les Pigeons’ par Mme. Knip and Temminck. Bonaparte, however, in his ‘Coup- d’œil’ believes that two closely allied species are confounded together under this name. The C. leucocephala of the West Indies is stated by Temminck to be a rock-pigeon; but I am informed by Mr. Gosse that this is an error.
