The Teal is a well known bird, and perhaps the fmalleft of the 

 Duck kind. The labyrinth is in proportion to the fize, as big as a 

 large pea on one fide, and fpreading on the oppofite part into a kind 

 of convex fhape, at the bottom of which the bronchia or lung-pipes 

 are attached. — The female has no labyrinth.

This bird meafures, from bill to tail, feventeen inches, being three 

 inches longer than the Teal. The labyrinth is larger, and differs 

 confiderably in fhape, being nearly oval, and placed perpendicularly, 

 fo as to appear rather as a continuation of the trachea, than an ap- 

 pendage to it, as in feveral other fpecies. It is externally a trifle in- 

 dented on one fide, in which furrow a mufcle* pafTes, making it ap-
