* This Dack is not given in the Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds, but is mentioned in 

 part ii, p. 148, of the second part of Mr. Eugene W. Oates' " A Manual of the Game 

 Birds of India" (1899), and is described in the Cat. Birds B. M., vol. xxvii, p. 211, 

 n. 13 (1895). Mr. Oates calls this species the Chinese Grey Duck, and proposes for 

 it and for two other species the new generic name of Polionetta. It has been 

 previously recorded from Indian limits from Kentung in the Shan States in the 

 "Asian" Newspaper (10th January, 1899), according to Mr. Oates. [Ed.].
