Crishna Crow, Lath., Hist.

Hab. in Nepaliâ.

The bill of this species is more cultratcd and lengthened than is usual in the genus. The outer feathers of the tail, which are spirally reflected inwards, are not so much produced as those of Ed. Malabaricus. A very curious character is furnished by the long, hair-like, black filaments which spring from the head and measure nearly 4 inches in length.
