The VICTORIA CROWNED PIGEON (_Goura Victoriæ_), the second member of this
group with which we are acquainted, is also principally of a slaty blue
colour, but has a reddish brown under side; the wing-stripes are blueish
grey, and a broad line at the end of the tail whitish grey. In this bird
the feathers that form the crest terminate in small fan-like appendages.
The eye is reddish, and the foot flesh-pink. This Pigeon is somewhat
larger than the species last described. It inhabits the most southern
parts of North Guinea, and is nowhere very numerous.
