Specific Characters. — Head and upper part of the neck pansy purple, with 

 a large white crescent before each eye; the white speculum separated from 

 the band on the coverts by a black stripe, (male.) The female is like the 

 Golden Eye, but the beak, as in the male, also is shorter, and narrower 

 towards the point. Length twenty-two inches and a half; wings nine inches 

 and a half; beak one inch and one third; tarsus one inch and seven lines; 

 middle and outer toe each two inches and a half. — Nuttall. 



This diving Duck is closely allied to, and probably a race of the 

 Golden Eye, and -was figured and described in the "Faun. Bor. 

 Amer." of Richardson and Swainson.
