Adult male. Bears a great resemblance to C. melanocMorus as 

 regards the pattern of the plumage, but is very distinct in colour- 

 ation. The present species differs in having the ground-colour of 



* Under this name Malberbe has described a bird from Bolivia as allied to 

 C. cristatus, but differing from it by liaving in the adult stage a uniform black 

 throat. The type is in the British Museum, and although it cannot be denied 

 that the throat is blacker than in typical C. cristatus, still it is striped with white, 

 and not uniform, and I am not disposed to accord it a specific title. Malberbe 

 (PicidaB, ii. p. 185) mentions having seen four examples (which he supposes were 

 collected by D'Orbigny, but which bear no indication as to the exact locality) 

 in the Paris Museum ; I have searched for these, but cannot find a trace or 

 record of them ; so probably they no longer exist in that Museum.
