"Osmotreron everetti resembles O. axillaris from the Philippines, but is altogether a larger bird; the purplish chestnut mantle is bordered above by a very conspicuous interscapulary band of lavender-gray, of the same color as the crown; this color is of a lighter shade than in O. axillaris and the interscapulary band is much less distinct and not so pure gray in the latter. In O. everetti the green of the neck and breast is a shade lighter and more tinged with yellow, the abdomen paler and more grayish along the middle. Length, about 279; wing, 161 to 165 ([female] 162 to 165); tail, 91 to 92; bill, 19; tarsus, 23. 'Iris greenish silvery' (Everett); 'iris pearly green; bill red at base, blue at tip; feet pale slate.' (Guillemard.) I have no female of true O. axillaris to compare, but the female of O. everetti seems to be the larger, and the mantle much darker olive." (Rothschild.) I have seen no specimens of Everett's green pigeon. 15. OSMOTRERON VERNANS (Linnæus). PINK-NECKED GREEN PIGEON. Columba vernans Linnæus, Mantissa Plantarum (1771), 526.
