The young males very much resemble 
during the first year the old females, but

The natives at Ochotska before the 
young are able to fly, go out in large 
parties, and endeavour to surround a whole 
flock, driving them at the flood, up the 
river; and as soon as the tide ebbs, the 
whole company attack the birds with 
clubs, &c. and are often so fortunate that 
twenty or thirty falls to the share of each 
individual. 
We have given a plate of the singular 
trachea belonging to the male of this spe- 
cies, see plate IV. fig. 4 and 5, fig. 5 is 
a continuation of fig. 4, the plate not be- 
ing of sufficient length to ^idmit the 
whole of the size of nature.
