The male of this very elegant fpecies of the Duck tribe appeared 

 in the firft Plate of the Volume preceding the prefent. It was there 

 obferved that the bird was introduced into the BritiJJi Fauna upon 

 the authority of the Rev. Thomas Rackett, F.L.S. the fpecies having 

 to his knowledge been found fome years ago in a wild ftate in Dorfet- 

 fliire. 



We now prefent figures of the female and the young, from a very 

 pleafing group of this iuterefting web-footed family bred in England, 

 and have thus completed the pictorial elucidation of this particular 

 fpecies. 



The female is rather fmaller than the male bird, and is alfo fome- 

 what different in the tints of })]umage, befides being deftitute of that 

 flowing pendent creft fo very confpicuous in the male bird. Length 

 about feventeen inches.
