[One specimen of this fine Duck, a supposed male, was shot by Captain Heath, and 

 given to me by Captain Gore, R.E. The falcated secondary wing-feathers were present 

 on one side of the body only. This would have been an interesting specimen to dissect, 

 in order to have seen if the organs of generation were irregularly developed. The 

 general plumage is that of the male. 



The occvirrence of the bird in this locality gives a much further western area than here- 

 tofore known. Hume and Marshall state that it is unknown from Western Turkestan or 

 the Caspian.— J. E. T, A.
