PLATE CVII. 
The Shoveller. 
1 HIS bird is given the fize of life. It is of the Wild Duck kind. There are but few taken, not 
being of a numerous fpecie ; and thofe which are, more for their beauty than for the table, being 
very inferior in tafte to the common Wild Duck. They breed in the fens. It is obfervable, that 
each mandible of the bill is toothed like a comb. The tongue is broad and flefhy, efpecially towards 
the end, the tip of which is of a fort of fimicircular form.
