The above references almost certainly concern only one species. Mr. Layard enumerates but 

 oue n his list of New Caledonian birds, but, in calling it M. castanea, he follows M. Marie (Lay. 1. e.). 

 The hitter's list also contains only M. castanea. IFere the name may probably be traced rightly to 

 J. Vcrreaux, whose assistance M. Marie appears to have received when compiling his list (Salv. et Sclat. 

 Ibis 1877, 361), and fmtn whom the Leyden Museum received an adult female specimen labelled A. castanea. 

 This specimen was indentified by Scblegel as A. gibberifrons. Females of A. castanea, however,

resemble both males and females of A. gibberifrons so closely that a mistake is always possible. .

Forster met with a species of Gadwall on the Society Islands and identified it with A. strepera 

 Linn. It is much nntre likely that is was C. couesi, for the range of that species doubtless extends 

 beyond Washington Island, the only locality as yet known for it.
