Amber-crested Cockatoo. 



Plyctolophus citrmo-cristatus, Fraser, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1844, p. 38. 



This bird is not uncommon, but I believe it has hitherto been considered merely a variety 

 of the Lesser sulphur-crested Cockatoo (P. sulphureus, Vieill.), from which species it is at once 

 distinguishable by the colour of the crest. 



The precise habitat is unknown. 



The general plumage, white; crest feathers, amber-coloured; the ear-coverts, washed with 

 yellow. Irides, red hazel.
