part of the wing and quills, tail, and thighs, are black: fome large 
fpots of black are alfo on the laft; the reft of the plumage white. It 
ftands high on the legs, which are yellow: and the webs do not reach 
above half way between the toes. 
Inhabits New South Wales: were it not from the extreme diftance 
between Chili and New Holland, one might think it a variety of the 
Black-necked {pecies.

‘THIS is about the fize of a Dome/fic Goofe; but the two fexes dif- 
fer exceedingly in colour: the ma/e is of a pure white, with the 
bill and legs yellow: the bill is half cylindrical; the cere red: the 
female is black, except fome ftreaks of white, arifing from the tips of 
feveral of the feathers being bordered with white: bill and lees red: 
the neck is fomewhat fhorter than in the Common Goofe, but the wings 
and tail longer; and the legs of nearly the fame fhape and make. 
This fpecies inhabits the Archipelago of Chiloé, in South America: 
may be called monogamous, for the male and female are never apart, 
never being found in flocks, as other forts: during the time of incu- 
bation, they retire to the rivers, where the female generally lays about 
eight white eggs, in a hole formed out of the fand. 
Anas Cofcoroba, Ind. Ora. ii. p. 835. 7.—~Molin. Chil, (Fr. ed.) p. 283. 
"THIS is probably the fize of a Goofe, at leaft Molina calls it by that 
name, and fays itis of a large fize: that it is wholly white, ex- 
cept the bill and legs, which are red: the eyes of a fine black; whe- 
ther the female differs from the male is not mentioned. 
This inhabits Chili, and is valuable for its extreme docility and 
tamenefs in confinement and domefticity, particularly attaching itfelf 
to the perfon who brings it food.
