BIRDS OF CUBA 35 



31. Lophodytes cucullatus (Linne). 

 Pheasant Duck; Hooded Merganser. 



A rare winter resident. It appears occasionally in the markets of the 

 larger cities, especially Havana and Matanzas. I have seen it once on the 

 lower Rio Hanabana in 191 5. 



32. Anas boschas boschas Linne. 

 Mallard; Pato Ingles. 



We know of the Mallard in the literature only from Gundlach's 

 record of a flock which appeared near Cardenas in 1850. The professional 

 duck hunters of Mariel and Lake Ariguanabo, however, all know the species 

 as the Pato Ingles, and it probably appears sporadically from time to 

 time. 



33. Anas carolinensis Gmelin. 

 Green-winged Teal; Pato de la Florida. 



A few are killed in the autumn as they pass Cuba on migration. 



34. Anas strepera Linne. 

 Gadwall. 



Gundlach once received a single specimen, sent to the Havana market 

 for sale and purchased for him by a friend.
