THE SCAUP. 275 
very young female is equally like the very young zyroca, but 
it has the chin, throat, a portion of the lores white, only a little 
speckled with rufous brown, (which white is not exhibited by 
any of my young White-eyes), besides the characteristic bill so 
much broader than those of young zyroca of the same age and 
Sex. 
I dwell specially on these points, because, having myself for 
years passed over these specimens as White-eyes, I cannot help 
suspecting that others may have done the same. If this 
species does visit the plains—and I am inclined to believe that 
it probably will prove to do so in the Punjab and Sindh on 
its way to the Kurrachee coast, (which lies within its normal 
range, and where about the mouths of the Indus it would find 
most congenial haunts)—it will probably be chiefly the birds of 
the year that will occur, and for these a sharp look-out should 
be kept.
