LENGTH 20 in. Cere and orbits yellow; the whole of the 

 plumage pure white ; legs yellow ; the hind claw double the length 

 of the others. 



Inhabits New-Holland. First communicated to me by the late 

 Dr. J. R. Forster ; one of these formerly in the collection of Sir Jos. 

 Banks, Bart, and presented by him to the British Museum. The 

 quills white, like the rest of the plumage, and reach only to the 

 beginning of tlie tail. This is considerably smaller than the last, and 

 may not improbably differ from it in sex.
