It is quite possible that two distinct forms are includerl under 

 A. so-rirostris — one larp^er, with the culmcn 8-15 inohes long, and 

 with the head and neck huffish brown (.-1. middendorffi), and the other 

 smaller, much more like A. fahalix, hat larger and with the bill 

 much tliicker (A. serrirosiris). I have not seen a sufficient number 

 of specimens to make up my mind on the subject.
