Among the Parrots with a short and equal tail 

 may be distinguished 



The Cockatoos, 



which M. Vieillot has named Pltctolophus. 



These have a crest, formed of long and narrow 

 feathers, ranged on two lines, recumbent or erect at 

 the will of the bird. They live in the remotest parts 

 of India. The plumage of most of them is white. 

 They are very docile, and prefer marshy places.
