150. Anas crecca L. Teal. 



Common winter visitor to the marshes on the south and 

 east side^ and not infrequently met Avith in the Ajaccio 

 market. 



151. Anas quehquedula L. Garganey. 



Wharton shot a specimen in the Campo de I'Oro on 

 January 26, and Whitehead found it common between 

 March 5 and April 18, after which date it was not noticed. 

 He shot three males on March 22. 



152. Anas axgustirostris Menetr. Marbled Duck. 

 Parrot recognised an individual of this species in the 



Ajaccio market on February 17, 1910, but^ as it was in bad 

 condition, did not preserve it. 



153. Anas penelope L. Wigeon. 



A winter visitor, occurring in small numbers only in the 

 south-west, but common on the east coast lagoons. Wharton 

 shot a drake in the Campo de I'Oro on March 27, while 

 Backhouse and Parrot both record the bird from the Ajaccio 

 market in January and February. Giglioli met with this 

 species at sea between Isola Uossa and San Fiorenzo on 

 October 11, and Whitehead describes it as plentiful through 

 the winter up to the beginning of March. 



154. Spatula clypeata L. Shoveler. 



A winter visitor. Whitehead first records this species on 

 November 30, and saw a few individuals at intervals during 

 the winter, but towards the end of February and the 

 beginning of March they became plentiful, evidently on 

 passage. Parrot records a drake in the Ajaccio market on 

 February 17. 



155= Dafila acuta (L.). Pintail. 



Whitehead describes the Pintail as common on the east 

 coast lagoons in February and March. Several shot were 

 young males, just changing plumage. Parrot records two 

 from the Ajaccio market on February 17, and saw a flock 

 of seven adult drakes on INlarch 1 fiving over the Gravone.
