During the first half of November, the most common Duck about here 
P^*-^was Dafila acuta; this was something quite unusual. One day I was one 
Auch, °j ' 0 f a party that captured nine specimens, and we could easily have taken 
/&p. f .Ilf- . more if we had cared to do so. There were a fewvW obscura in com- 
pany with the Dafila acuta, instead of 
any of the latter kind are in this locality. HSVtTf , / //
