 QuERQUEDULA, Stephens. 



201. *QUEEQUEDULA MULTICOLOR. 



La petite Sarcelle de I'isle de Luqon, Sonn. Voy. Nouv. Guin. p. 91, pi. 55. 



Sterna multicolor, Scopoli, Del. Fl. Faun. Insubr. ii. p. 92, no. 74 (1786), ex Sonn. 



Anas manillensis, Gm. S. N. i. p. 533, no. 91 (1788), ex Sonn.; Eyton, Monogr. Anatidje, p. 135. 



Mr. Eyton {I. c), without hesitation, identifies Manilla (1) examples in Lord Derby's 

 collection and his own with Sonnerat's Luzon Teal, adding that it is allied to Q. formosa. 

 Professor Schlegel (Mus. Pays-Bas, Anseres, p. 77) identifies, with doubt, Sonnerat's 

 species with the Australian Nettapus imlchellus, Gould. 



Anas, Linnaeus. 



202. *Anas luzonica. 



Anas luzonica, Fraser, P. Z. S. 1839, p. 113, " Luzon;" Zool. Typica, pi. 67; v. Martens, J. f. O. 

 1866, p. 30, no. 189. 



Hob. Luzon [Cuming, Jagor). 



Anas boschas is stated by Dr. Pickering (Cassin, Un. St. Expl. Exped. p. 340} to be 

 raised in immense numbers at the Philippine Islands, but to be undoubtedly of Malay 

 introduction. I do not, therefore, enumerate it as an indigenous species ; but there is 

 no good reason to doubt the probability of its being also a wild winter Duck in the 

 Archipelago. 



Dendeocygna, Swainson. 



203. Dendeocygna vagans. 



Dendrocygna vagans,'E,jion,M.^.; Fraser, Zool. Typica, pi. 68, " Manilla " (1849); Walden, Tr.
