tudinally beneath the lower mandible. The bill is 
broad at the bafe; much pectinated at the edges, 
and black: the legs are alfo of the fame colour: the 
tail is of a fharpened form. This curious fpecies is 
a native of New Holland, and is about the fize of a 
common Duck. The fpecimen is preferved in the 
Britifti Mufeum, and was brought over by Mr. 
Archibald Menzies, who accompanied Captain Van¬ 
couver in his late voyage.
