"Much resembling C. principalis, but smaller and with the black 

 anterior feathers of the crest larger than those succeeding, which 

 are scarlet. White longitudinal line on the neck reaching quite to 

 the base of the bill. In C. principalis the scarlet plumes of the 

 crest are the longer, and the line on the neck does not extend to the 

 base of the bill, both of which characters are very accurately shown 

 in Audubon's plates B. of Am. pi. 66, and oct. ed. IV, pi. 256. Colors 

 of all other parts in the present bird are the same as those of C. 

 principalis. 



"Total length about i8i inches, wing, 9^, tail, 6\ inches." (Cas-
