HIS bird is a miniature presentment of tbe great Australian 
JL Lemon-crested Oocbatooj butj according to our experience, lacks 
tbe intelligence and docility of tbe latter, it is about fourteen inches 
in length; tbe beak, feet, and legs are black, tbe orbits white, and 
the irides red or black, according to tbe sex of the individual. The 
general colour of tbe plumage is white, with a primrose yellow shade 
on the wings and tail, as well as a spot of the same colour beneath 
the eyes; the crest is acuminate, and composed of soft feathers of a 
bright lemon tint, the ends of which, when the appendage is erect, 
have a forward inclination. 
It is a native of the Moluccas, and also occurs in the Celebes 
Islands, and has been known to Parrot fanciers since the days of 
Buff on, who named it le Cacatoes a liuppe jaune. Many of these birds 
are yearly imported into Europe, but are more frequently to be met 
with in Holland and France, than in England, or in Germany. 
While unable ourselves to say much in favour of this bird, we feel 
bound in justice to it to append the favourable testimony as to its 
merits that is to be found in Dr. Karl Russ’s Handbook . — ‘^‘The 
variety from the Celebes has been longest in the market, but is still 
a favourite, and in much request, and learns to speak easily and well; 
it is very tame and more docile than any other.” 
This is strong praise, and we incline to the belief that the doctor
