HIS bird, though no more than three inches longer than the 
Teal, hasthe bony labyrinth of the windpipe comparatively of a 
much larger fize: it is nearly oval in fhape, of the fize of the finger’s 
end, and appears in one view as a continuation of the end of the tra- 
chea, but a trifle flatted on one fide, to admit of the infertion of 
the ufual mufcles: at the upper part, on the fide next the breatft, it is 
alfo flatted, and from thence the two bronchiz have their origin.

HE male of this bird has not only a fmall windpipe in proportion 
to the fize of its body, but it has alfo a very fmall labyrinth, 
being fcarcely bigger than a pea. Nothing more needs here be added: 
a bare infpection of the figure in the plate of the Liznaan Tranfattions, 
will explain every thing neceflary.
