" Iris dark red, bill slate, feet maroon."
The Bronze Imperial Pigeon was fairly common in all
the islands at the time of our visit but hard to get, as it
was not flighting and always flew extremely high. The pair
preserved are distinctly larger than those obtained in S.E.
Siam by Mr. Kloss ; wing 235 mm. against 209, but several
names are available both for the eastern and southwestern
races, if separated. All the Malayan birds belong to the
typical Linnean race, whose type locality has been designated
by Hartert as the Lesser Sunda Islands.
