FERRUGINOUS SCAUP-DUCK. 115 



reddish -brown ; the white of the belly tinged with light 

 brown. 



Remarks. — The above account is entirely compiled, 

 chiefly from Temminck and Yarrell. A female from India, 

 in my collection, however, shows that the species, although 

 somewhat allied to the Pochards in colouring, belongs to the 

 genus Fuligula, its bill being shorter, and much broader than 

 that of the Aythyse.
