Seven specimens average, 243 in length; wing, 141; tail, 88; culmen, 22; tarsus, 24; middle toe and claw, 29." (Bourns and Worcester MS.) The bronze-winged dove, because of its wide distribution, is a species little valued by the collector but its solitary and unobtrusive habits usually lead the novice to mistake it for a rarity. In no place abundant, the species may be found in nearly every island where forest, or even a small growth of trees, exists to afford protected feeding grounds. Oates records two eggs of this species which were collected in Mindoro by the Steere Expedition. Subfamily GEOTRYGONINÆ. Genus PHLEGOENAS Reichenbach, 1852.
