Williamson and o<strong>the</strong>rs have remarked that this little dove<br />
is very rare in Siam proper. It is however common over<br />
practically <strong>the</strong> whole <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Peninsula to its nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />
extremity in suitable localities. We did not however observe<br />
it on Langkawi and Terutau, though I have little doubt that<br />
in occurs on <strong>the</strong> large open areas on <strong>the</strong> north <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> former<br />
island.<br />
