- As Capt. Drummond gives no description of this bird, it is uncertain whether he here refers to the Turtur senegalensis (cambayensis, œgyptiaca and maculicollis of authors), first noticed as a European species by myself Proc. Zool. Soc. 1836 100 100 and since found abundantly in Greece by Von der Mühle (Ornithologie Griechenlands, p. 83); or to the Turtur risorius, a species common in North Africa, and once met with by Naumann on the Balcan (Wiegm. Archiv, 1837, p. 106).—H. E. Strickland.
