Remarks.— I am indebted to Dr. L. B. Bishop, of New Haven, Conn., 

 and Air. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant for comparing two of my North Reef Island 

 birds (the types) with the series of Andaman Teal in the British Museum 

 and the types of P. albigularis, and both gentlemen agree that my form 

 is at least a good sub-species. I have some hesitation in including the 

 single bird from North Andaman in the new form ; it is intermediate in 

 coloring and is probably the connecting link between the forms. 



The white on the frontal apex varies, being rednced to a line in that of 

 the Reef Island birds, and one ( 19,065) lias a great deal of white on the 

 crown, 19,066 has a little, and 10,064 a small spot.
