" Smaller than C. bewicki, with the neck about a third shorter ; is entirely 

 white, with the bill vermilion colour having a black dertrum, and the legs and 

 feet orange-yellow. Its nearest ally is C. coscoroba of Chili, but it is larger 

 than that, and has the wing white throughout." (Swinkoe.) 



Only known from a specimen bought in the flesh in the market at Tientsin, 

 and preserved in the Museum of the Lazarist Mission in Peking. 



* Contrary to Mr. Stejneger's statement (Pr. U.S. Nat. Mus. v. p. 189), it 

 appears to me that Pallas {I. c.) did not use the specific binomial name Anas olor 

 for the present species ; he only wrote the substantive names Olor and Cygnus 

 for the two species of Swans.
