PLATE CXCIV. 



The m?Je of this very elegant fpecies of the Anas tribe has ap- 

 peased already in the prefent work, being mckided in the fixth vo^ 

 lume, at Plate CXXIX. The female is little inferior in the beauty of 

 her plamage to the male bird, from which, however, on comparifon, 

 it u ill be found to differ in feverai material particulars. The female 

 h rather fmaller, the head and neck pale brown, and marked with nu- 

 merous fhort daOies of fufcous ; the back and wing coverts dark brown, 

 with a delicate reddifii buff-coloured margin, and many of the feathers 

 marked acrofs the middle with a curved band of the fame colour : 

 wings pale fufcous ; \^ ing-fpot pale brown, bounded above and be- 

 neath with a white band or line: the tail cuneate, having the middle 

 feather /ather longer and pointed_, but not elongated like the two 

 lyiddie tail feathers of the male bird.
