Both males and females arc very much like those of 0. banksi, 

 possessing an equally lengthened crest, but differ in having the bill 

 larger and more powerful, wit h the mandible much thicker ; besides, 

 the wings are shorter, and the female has the coloured part of the 

 tail mingled yellow and scarlet. 



HaU. Northern Australia, from Derby to Itockingham Bay. 



Whether this bird is truly distinct from C. banksi is a question 

 which I am not able to decide, on account of the want of a sufficient 

 number of specimens with the localities and sexes ascertained. The 

 following specimens seem to belong to it : —

" The characters by which this species is distinguished from the 

 C. macrorhynchus are a smaller bill and a shorter and more rounded 

 crest. The bill is, moreover, inclined to be gibbous, like that of 

 C. leaclui, to which species it also offers a further alliance in its 

 shorter contour and more rounded crest and short tail. Total length 

 22 inches, bill in height 2-75, wing 14, tail 10'5, tarsus (about) O-?.*'
