WHITE-QUILLED GOOSE-TEAL. 
Such notes, being unauthenticated, are comparatively valueless, and 
truly speaking nothing is known about the habits of this bird. 
It was differentiated by Gould on account of its larger size and the more 
extensive white quill-lining when compared with Indian birds. The former 
character is unstable, so that it can only be regarded as subspecifically distinct. 
The bird figured and described was collected at Mackay, North 
Queensland.
