BLACKISH DUCK, lineated tranverfely with

lobated beneath. 
This bird, which is an entirely new and hitherto 
undefcribed fpecies, is lefs remarkable for the beauty 
than the Angularity of its appearance. Its general 
colour is cinereous, which on the neck and lower 
parts is much lighter than on the upper, as well as 
marked obfeurely by feveral dufky fpots. The back 
is of a very deep afh-colour, or fuliginous blackifh ; 
marked with numerous tranverfe whitifh lines, to¬ 
gether with innumerable freckles of a flmilar colour, 
not unlike thofe on the back and wings of the com¬ 
mon Goatfucker, or Caprimulgus Europteus; but 
the moll Angular character of the bird is a large, 
black, flat, orbicular flap or wattle, feated longi¬ 
tudinally
