has rows of small indented holes to receive 
the teeth of the upper mandible. Catesby 
says, it has yellow eyes. On it's liead, it has 
a towering crest of long white feathers, tipped 
with black : they do not spread in a globular 
form. ; but rather fiattish, like a fan. From 
the crown of the head, above the eyes, spring 
long black feathers, which partly cover the 
white botcoms of the crest-feathers. From 
the eyes, backward, the hinder part of the 
'head is white. The rest of the head, with 
the whole neck, back, and rump, are a deep 
velvet black. The tail is composed of eighteen 
feathers, the middlemost longer by an inch 
than the outermost ; they gradually shorten 
from the middle to the sides. The tail-feathers, 
and greater quills, are of a dusky black on 
their upper sides, and a dark ash-colour be- 
neath. The inner covens of the wings arc of 
a light ash-colour, with pretty deep white 
borders. The inner half of the quills, next 
the back, are of a glossy shining black ; those 
nearest the back are long, sharp-pointed, and 
have white lines down the outer sides of their 
shafts : the middle quills are white on the 
edges of their outer webs. I Jie first row of
