PINK-HEADED POCHARD. 



breast and sides are pale rust-colour, deepening into 

 chesnut in the middle, growing still darker as it passes 

 on towards the vent, which is black : the wing-coverts 

 are white : the prime quills dusky black ; the seconda- 

 ries are partly white, partly black, the colours being 

 divided obliquely on each feather : the scapulars are 

 long, and curve over the greater coverts ; the inner 

 web being very narrow, and, with the shaft, white ; 

 the outer web very broad, and black : the tail is 

 pointed, and brown : the legs black. The female has 

 all the plumage varied with brown and rust-colour : 

 the quills are straight and dusky : some of the se- 

 condaries are tipped with white, which form a white 

 speculum : and some of the coverts are also tipped 

 with white, forming a large spot of that colour on the 

 anterior part of the wing. 



Found about the coasts of Kanitschatka and the 

 north-western coasts of America ; breeding among 

 the most inaccessible rocks : they fly in flocks.
