PLATE XCIl. 
The Teal, 
Is the fmalleft of the Duck kind. This plate reprefents the female, which in other authors . de- 
rcribed very different in colour; but as I pay a ftria adherence to nature, the public .ay rely on 
fens as other w.ld fowl. The legs of this fpecie are remarkably flat. The London markets are 
rup;iied with them in the winter, they differ much in price, accordmg to the quantities brougM: 
fometimes they fell for eight-pence each, and I have known them fetch three fhillmgs a couple We 
feldom have them in town after February, as the flocks then difperfe. and they repair for breedmg.
