whole winter, when it is decidedly the commonest of the Duck tribe. In spring and sUlUl ^ ie 
it seemed to be less plentiful ; but this may perhaps have been because it was cast in ^ 
shade by the great variety of other Ducks and Teal then breeding about Yarkand- ^ 
A arkandis say that of the twenty odd species of Duck which they discriminate, the

TheTurkinameof the Mallard is ‘ Aur dak,' which means simply ‘Duck,’ and it is someti 
distinguished as ‘ Sun ’ or Sana aur dak.' ” ,
