CYANURA MACEOLOPHA. 
LONG-CRESTED JAY. 
CYANOCITTA MACEOLOPHA. Baird, Proc. Acad. Nat. Scien., Phil., Yol. VII, (1854), p. 118. 
CYANURA MACROLOPHA. Baird, B. of N. Amer, p. 582. 
Closely allied to the C. Stelleri, the present species may, however, be readily distinguished by its much longer crest, white instead 
of blue streaks on the forehead, and the white patch over the eye, which is absent in its relative. 
It is a native of the Rocky Mountains and the table-lands of Mexico, and doubtless is as noisy, and possesses as many thieving 
propensities, as we are accustomed to find in better known members of this genus. 
The type-specimen was procured by Dr. Kennerly in 1854, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and described by Prof. Baird as 
mentioned above. No account of its habits has been recorded, but we probably will not err if we suppose that they would resemble 
those of its relatives which are more familiar to us. 
Head and crest, black. Back, light brown. Wings and tail, bright blue, banded with black. Under parts, greenish blue. Fore- 
head marked with whitish streaks, and a wdiite patch over the eye. Bill, legs, and feet, black. 
The figures are of the natural size.
