Churchill River, N° 12. 



At Churchill River the Indians call this fpecies, 

 Har-har-vey, it correfponds with Edwards's 

 defcription and drawing, plate 156, but dif- 

 fers much from Linneus's inexact defcription 

 of the Anas Hyemalis r to which he, how- 

 ever, quotes Edwards. Upon the whole it is 

 almoft without a doubt that the bird repre- 

 fented by Edwards, plate 280, and Br. Z00L 

 folio, plate Q^7, and quoted by Linneus for 

 his Anas glacialis, is the male, and that the 

 bird figured by Edwards t. 1 56, and quoted by 

 Linneus for the Anas Hyemalis, is the female* 

 of one and the fame fpecies. Linneus men- 

 tions a white body (in his Anas hyemalis) 

 which in Edw. Tab. 156, and in the So- 

 ciety's fpecimen,,is all brown and dufky, ex > 

 cept the belly, temples, a fpot on the back 

 of the head, and the fides of the rump, 

 which are white. Linneus fays,, that the 

 temples are black 5. in the fpecimen now fent 

 -■ over, and in Mr. Edwards's figure, which 

 Linneus quotes,, they are white ; the breaft, 

 back,, and wings, , are not black as he fays, 

 but rather brown and dufky; A further 

 proof, that Linneus's Anas Glacialis and Hye- 

 malis are the fame, is that the feet in both 

 t. 156 and 2 8a- of- Edwards are red, and the 

 bill black, with an orange fpot.
