gUeat sulphur-crested cockatoo. 479 



The female seems to be described and figured 

 by authors under the name of the Great White , 

 or White-crested Cockatoo, and is of similar size 

 and appearance with the preceding, but differs in 

 the colour of the crest, which is entirely white.

This is somewhat larger than the Red or Broad- 

 crested Cockatoo, being of the size of a domestic 

 cock, and measuring somewhat more than two 

 feet in length: its colour is white, with a slight 

 east of yellow on the sides of the tail, and about 

 the wing-coverts : the head is furnished with a 

 large lengthened and pointed crest, of a fine sul- 

 phur-colour, slightly reversed at the tip: the biH 

 is black; the legs dusky, and the tail longer in 

 proportion than in the Broad-crested Cockatoo. 

 It is a native of New Holland.
