Adult. Crown, sides of the head, throat, and hind part of neck black ; the rest of the upper surface bluish black, 
each feather having a narrow central streak of pale blue; from the base of the upper mandible, on each side 
a broad line of pale golden yellow passes over the eyes, and is continued beyond in a crest of fine pointe 
feathers, extending nearly two inches beyond the head; the black feathers of the crown between these side 
crests are lengthened, acuminate, and slightly rigid; upper surface of flippers glossy bluish black, the 
feathers, which are lanceolate and closely imbricated, being margined and tipped with pale blue ; along the 
inner edges a narrow band of white. The underparts of the body are silvery white, contrasting sharply on 
the sides wdth the dark plumage of the upper surface, and tapering upwards on the fore neck to a point 
about three inches below the angle of the lower jaw ; under surface of flippers bluish grey, with the central 
portion outwardly, and a continuation towards the root, silvery white ; tail-leathers long, narrow, very rigid, 
and perfectly black ; the coverts greyish white, with black shafts, and tipped with blue. Irides brick-rcd ;

sibly on the throat ; the plumage of the upper parts duller than in the fully matured bird. Bill dark brown.

from the base of the mandible, in a line with the nostrils, a streak of pale yellow with points of black pa^ s

scarcely to a degree deserving the name of a crest; the throat and for nearly three inc es ^ 
neck sooty black, freckled and mottled with fulvous white; the whole of the upper surface u uis
