the Lower Yangtse Basin. 497 



260. EuNETTA FORMOSA (Georgi) . 



(722.) Abundant in winter. Generally found in vast 

 flocks in wild open marshes and lakes, and not, like the 

 Common Teal, on ponds, creeks, and paddy-fields. Compara- 

 tively few, therefore, are shot. 



261. EuNETTA FALCATA (Pall,). 



(723.) One of the commonest species on the Yangtse, 

 but not found much in the delta round Shanghai. Higher 

 up large flocks collect on the river, and are amongst the last 

 wildfowl to leave in the spring. 



262. Spatula clypeata (L.). 

 (717.) Found sparingly in winter. 



263. FULIGULA cristata (L.). 

 (731.) Found sparingly in winter. 



264. FunGULA baeri, Radde. 



(732.) I cannot understand why this species should have 

 been looked upon as a hybrid. It is scarce and irregular in 

 its appearance, but when met with seems to be numerous, 

 and all the specimens I have noted are similar in plumage. 

 1 have seen a native hawker with fully twenty specimens, but 

 unfortunately all but one were too stale to skin ; it is evident 

 that so many hybrid Ducks could never have been met with 

 at once. 



265. FULIGULA ferina (L.). 

 (727.) Found sparingly in winter. 



266. FULIGULA MARILA. 



(729.) Found sparingly in winter. 



267. FuLiGULA MARiLoiDES (Richardsou) . 

 (730.) Shanghai market in winter (D. ^ 0.). 



268. Clangula glaucion (L.). 



(725.) Bucephala clangula, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1871, p. 418. 

 Shanghai in winter. 



269. CEdemia fusca (L.). 



(724.) Shanghai in winter. I have seen a large flock, 

 which seemed to consist of this species, near Nankin.
