Adult. General colour above dark slate, each pointed feather 

 black, edged externally with dark bluish slate ; top of the head 

 black, the feathers on the crown and occiput graatly lengthened and 

 forming a long straggling crest, of which the longest feathers 

 measure over three inches ; a golden yellow eyebrow-stripe, com- 

 mencing behind the nasal feathers and extending along the sides of 

 the crown, the posterior feathers being greatly lengthened (many 

 measuring fully 3-5 inches) and mingling with the long black 

 crest-feathers ; sides of the head, chin and throat smoky-black ; 

 rest of underparts pure white. Flipper above like the back, edged 

 internally with white ; below white, the outer margin, tip, and a 

 patch on the basal part of the inner margin black. In very old 

 specimens the amount of black at the extremity increases in extent. 

 Bill of the same type as that of C. ixicliyrhinchus (see woodcut, 

 p. 640). Tail composed of 1 6 feathers. " Iris deep pink ; bill orange ; 

 tarsus and toes white " {Kidder). Total length about 25 inches. 



Immature birds difler in having the chin ashy white and the 

 throat blaclvish. (Mus. Eothschild.) 



In still younger examples the throat is ashy white, and the yellow 

 superciliary crest merely indicated by a yellowish-white line. (Mus. 

 Eothschild.) 



The bird described by M. Oustalet as Eudyptida serresiana is 

 C. chrysocome in this plumage.
