Mus. Novit., no. 1192, 1942, p. 6 (Kusaie, Ebon); Mayr, Birds Southwest Pacific, 1945, p. 289 (Kusaie). _Geographic range._--Micronesia: Caroline Islands--Kusaie; Marshall Islands--Ebon (extinct?). _Characters._--Adult: Resembles _P. p. ponapensis_, but occiput, nape, sides of head more gray and less greenish-yellow; chin and midthroat paler; crown coloring very faintly margined with yellow; tail band brighter yellow; under tail-coverts more orange; abdominal spot may be present as a brownish-red tinge; abdomen slightly more yellowish. Immature: Resembles immature of _P. p. ponapensis_. _Measurements._--Measurements are listed in table 25. Ripley and Birckhead (1942:7) give the measurements of the only known specimen from Ebon (Marshall Islands) as: wing, 124; tail, 74; bill from base, 15. _Specimens examined._--Total number, 11 (6 males, 5 females), as follows: Caroline Islands, USNM--Kusaie, 1 (Feb. 9); AMNH--Kusaie, 10 (Jan., Feb., March, April). _Remarks._--I am following Ripley and Birckhead (1942:6) in identifying the dove from Ebon Island as of the subspecies _P. p. hernsheimi_. This specimen from Ebon may, however, represent the final vestige of a formerly well-distributed population in the Marshall Islands. This distribution is of particular interest because it may show the pathway by which these small fruit pigeons invaded eastern Micronesia from Polynesia. The small fruit dove at Kusaie has apparently the same habitat requirements as others of the species. Coultas (field notes) comments that in 1931 the birds were "quite common." He found them in the high trees on the mountain sides away from the native villages and gardens. =Ptilinopus porphyraceus pelewensis= Hartlaub and Finsch Crimson-crowned Fruit Dove _Ptilinopus pelewensis_ Hartlaub and Finsch, Proc.
