Abstract

When my wife and I were in the Naga Hills in 1950, we collected two specimens of the Grayheaded Imperial Pigeon which I subsequently considered t o represent the form griseicapilla, recorded by Baker (1928, FAUNA OF BRITISH INDIA, 5:204) from southeastern Assam, and extreme eastern Bengal. The Imperial Pigeon was the only species of this genus seen by us in the Naga Hills, where pigeons of this impressive size and beauty now seem rare, no doubt due to the assiduous attentions of the Nagas themselves.
