ORDER XXIII.— ANSERES. 



Family Anatidce. 



Sub-family Anserince. 



(1583) Anser indicus. — The Barred-headed Goose. 



Although I did not see any specimens of this species in Chitral it is 



probable that it occurs. 



This species breeds on the Shandur Lake which is just over the Chitral 

 border, and I saw several tamed birds that had been taken as nestlings 

 the previous year. 



Sub-family Anatince. 



(1592) Anas boscas. — The Mallard. 



It passes through on its northward migration, beginning early in 



March and continuing till the end of the month, and on its return 



passage, beginning about the second week of September. This species 



does not winter in the country. 



(1597) Nettium crecca. — The Common Teal. 

 Passes through to the north during March and first week in April 

 in large numbers, and returns south about the beginning of October. 

 A certain number winter in the country. 



(1599) Mareca penelope. — The Wigeon. 

 Passes north during March and first week in April, returning south 

 in October. 



Does not appear to be very numerous, nor does it winter in the 

 country. 



(1G00) Dafila acuta. — The Pintail. 

 Does not winter. Passes north towards the end of February and 

 March. The return south was not noted.
