8. Nyroca nyroca (Guld.) 



ef 25^4 1902 Baimgol. 



According to Cat. B. Brit. Mus. this locality should be 

 rather beyond the eastern limit of distribution of this duck 

 as in the work mentioned »the valley of the Obb» is indi- 

 cated as its eastern boundary, but Pleske^ has recorded it 

 still further east »aus Bulundschi, auf dem Wege nach Ang- 

 ssi». This was however as early in the year as in March 

 and it has therefore been a migrating specimen.

 This duck seems to be common at Baimgol to judge from 

 the number of specimens.
