Superorder Passerimorphae
            Order COLUMBIFORMES
                      Family Raphidae: Dodos, Solitaires
                      Family Columbidae: Pigeons, Doves

          Order COLUMBIFORMES:
          Family COLUMBIDAE:  Pigeons and doves occur on all continents and many islands.
          The extinct Raphidae occurred on the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean: the Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) on Mauritius and the Solitaire (Pezophaps solitaria) on Rodriguez.
          Another species may have inhabited Réunion.

          *Family RAPHIDAE:  Dodos and Solitaires  Extinct.
          *Raphus cucullatus   DODO.  Mauritius.  Forest floor.  Extinct by 1700; formerly on in the w Mascarene I. of Mauritius.
          *Raphus solitarius   REUNION SOLITAIRE.  Observed by explorers between 1613 and 1708, probably extinct by 1710-15.  Formerly on the Mascarene I. of Réunion.
          *
          Known only from historical reports.  Mourer-Chauviré, et al. (1995. Nature 373:568) recently found abundant remains of an extinct ibis (Borbonibis latipes) that was closely related to Threskiornis, but with a shorter, less curved bill.  An old account reported that the bill of the Reunion Solitaire was "like that of a Woodcock, but larger" -- leading to the suggestion that the Reunion Solitaire might have been an ibis, although it was thought to have been flightless -- and the fossil ibis bones do not indicate flightlessness.  However, the authors propose to designate the fossil as Threskiornis solitarius, with Borbonicus latipes as a junior synonym.
          Thus, the Reunion Solitaire may now be called the Reunion Ibis and transferred to the Threskiornithidae.
          *
          *Pezophaps solitaria  RODRIGUEZ SOLITAIRE.  Forest floor.  Extinct; believed to have survived until as late as 1761; formerly on Rodrigues I. in the e Mascarene Is.

          *
          Wood-Pigeons in northern Italy (and possibly elsewhere) often nest near the nest of a Hobby (Falco subbuteo); the Hobby attacks and drives away all medium to large birds near its nest, including Hooded Crows which take the eggs and chicks of other birds, including Wood-Pigeons.
          Although the Hobby may prey on Wood-Pigeons, the association results in a net benefit to the pigeons (Bogliani, et al. 1994. XXI Intl. Orn. Congr.).

          *
          The domesticated form "S. risoria" (Linnaeus) 1758, is now known to be a derivative of S. roseogrisea.
          Because of the confusion surrounding the use of risoria (the senior name), the latter is better suppressed for any wild population in favor of other established names.
