The Pink-headed Ducks. 285 



of India, this Duck has been found on 

 several occasions near Delhi. It is not 

 uncommon near Lucknow, and Colonel 

 M. Tweedie met with a very large number 

 of these Ducks a little north of Kheeri, 

 in Oudh, in May. 



Continuing along the north, we find 

 that Hodgson observed this Duck in 

 Nepal and Pemberton in Bhutan. It 

 has been recorded from many parts of 

 Bengal, and it is exposed for sale some- 

 times in the Calcutta market. Ball pro- 

 cured it at Sahibgunj on the Ganges, the 

 Rajmehal Hills, Hazaribagh and Man- 

 bhum. Mr. J. H. Taylor observed it at 

 Khorda, in Orissa, and it is found down 

 the east coast as far, at least, as Madras. 



On the west coast, the Rev. S. B. Fair- 

 bank observed this Duck in the vicinity 

 of Khandala, near Bombay. 



East of Bengal, the species occurs, 

 according to Mr. Hume, throughout the 

 Assam valley up to Sadiya. It also 

 occurs in Sylhet and Manipur. Accord- 

 ing to Blyth, it has been obtained near 

 Bhamo and also in Arrakan. My friend 

 Mr. E. Gabbett informs me that four of 

 these Ducks were shot near Mandalay, 

 and that he examined the birds and was 

 sure of their identity.
