the wing, is, in this species, strongly 

 developed. 



Although the Comb-Duck resembles 

 the Indian Wood-Duck in having the 

 head and neck white, spotted with black, 

 these two species differ in so many im- 

 portant respects, notably in the shape of 

 the wing, the relative strength of the legs 

 and feet, and the colour of the axillaries 

 and under wing-coverts, that they do not 

 appear to me to be in any way closely 

 related.
