Spatula clypeata, Linnmus. This bird has never been recorded 

 from Australia, except on the occasion referred to by Mr. 

 Gould (Handbook, Vol. ii., p. 370) if the specimen was really 

 identical with the S. clypeata of Europe, it could only have 

 been a straggler, and should not be included in the Australian 

 avi-f auna ; its nest and eggs are fully described by various 

 writers on British Birds.
