"Immature male.--Closely resembling the female; forehead green with the purple feathers of the crown intermingled; dark purple breast-band commencing to form; breast grayer than in the female. "Young in first plumage.--Bright parrot-green, the wing-coverts and secondaries broadly margined with light yellow, the back, rump, and scapulars, and breast more finely margined with yellow; remaining under parts much as in the female; tail tipped with yellowish white; no purple on head or elsewhere. "Wing, 128 to 140; tail, 95; tarsus, 22; culmen from cranium suture, 17 to 19." (Meyer and Wiglesworth.) Male.--"Iris sea-green; bill green, reddish at base; tarsus greenish olive. Length, 295; wing, 144." (Salvadori.) Genus SPILOTRERON Salvadori, 1882. First primary slightly attenuated on its distal third; tail square; tarsus feathered nearly to the toes. 30. SPILOTRERON BANGUEYENSIS (A. B. Meyer). MEYER'S FRUIT PIGEON. Ptilopus bangueyensis Meyer, Jour. für Orn. (1891), 70; Salvadori, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. (1893), 21, 143. Spilotreron bangueyensis Sharpe, Hand-List (1899), 1, 61; McGregor and Worcester, Hand-List (1906), 11. Ptilopus purpureinucha Meyer, Jour. für Orn. (1891), 71. Basilan (Everett, Steere Exp., Bourns & Worcester, McGregor); Bongao (Everett); Cagayan Sulu (Mearns); Mindanao (Everett, Steere Exp.); Palawan (Lempriere, Whitehead); Sibutu (Everett); Sulu (Burbidge, Guillemard, Bourns & Worcester); Tawi Tawi (Bourns & Worcester). Banguey. Adult male.--Bright leaf-green, mantle slightly yellowish; head, neck, and throat pearly gray; chin and upper throat yellow; a large patch on occiput and hind neck black; lower abdomen and short tail-coverts bright yellow; longer tail-coverts bright carmine, narrowly tipped with yellow; secondaries and greater coverts very narrowly edged with yellow. Eyelids, iris, and bill greenish yellow; feet rose-pink; nails brown. Length, 240. Two males from Basilan, wing, 123, 116; tail, 85; exposed culmen, 16, 15; middle toe with claw, 26. Adult female.--Entirely green, except the under tail-coverts which are green, washed with carmine, and narrowly tipped with yellow. Two females from Basilan measure: Wing, 121, 118; tail, 79, 80; exposed culmen, 16, 14; middle toe with claw, 26, 25. Young.--Similar to the adult female but with little or no carmine on under tail-coverts. "This, the most northern form of the Spilotreron group, is very nearly related to the most southern one, from which it is not easily distinguished. The slight purple tinge of the black occipital spot, on which Dr. Meyer relies to separate the Basilan bird, appears only in certain individuals, but is absent in the majority of specimens. As to the collar of the bird from Banguey, which is described as whitish gray, I do not find that it is different from that of the specimens from other localities." (Salvadori.)
