THIS beautiful species is twenty-three inches in length. Bill 

 three inches long, red, with a dark furrow running on each side to 

 the tip ; the upper mandible curved at the end, the under obtuse ; 

 irides dull red ; head, neck, back, and sides, black ; over each eye 

 a stripe of pale yellow feathers, which lengthen into a crest behind, 

 and are nearly four inches long; the feathers on each side of the 

 head, above this stripe, are longer than the rest, and stand upwards ; 

 those of the crest are decumbent, but can be erected on each side at 

 will ; the wings, or rather fins, are black outwardly, edged with 

 white, within white ; breast, and all the under parts, white; legs 

 orange. The female has a streak of pale yellow over each eye, but 

 not prolonged into a crest behind.

 Jacks, from their habit of leaping quite out of the water on meeting 

 with the least obstacle ; and indeed do it frequently without any 

 seeming cause, appearing chiefly to advance by that means. This 

 species appears to be more lively than others, but in fact they are 

 very stupid birds, so as to admit of being knocked down with 

 sticks when on land,* and are frequently so regardless, as to suffer 



* These were found difficult to kill, and when provoked, ran at the Bailors in flocks, 

 and pecked their legs, and spoiled their clothes.— Forst. Voy.
