Spatula clypeata, Linnmis. This bird has never been recorded 
from Australia, except on the occasion referred to by Mr. 
Gould (Handbook, Vol. ii., p. 370) if the specimen was really 
identical with the S. clypeata of Europe, it could only have 
been a straggler, and should not be included in the Australian 
avi-fauna; its nest and eggs are fully described by various 
writers on British Birds.
