The above description is taken from a female speci-men apparently in autumn plumage, and which is figured.It was kindly sent me by Mr. Sclater, the Secretary tothe Zoological Society, to whom I have much pleasurein tendering my thanks for the assistance which hewillingly affords me in the prosecution of this work.It is nicirked Petaluma Car. Authy. Baird e. mus P.L. Sclater, No. 5415. It has been figured as A. aquaticics by Audubon, pi.10, Orn. Biog., i, p. 49; Wilson, p. 89, pi. 43, fig. 4,(young.) The colours are much too bright in this figure—Edwards Gleanings, ii. 185, pi. 297. I am sorry I have not an e^^ to figure. Brehmsvery clear description renders it, however, unnecessaryfor me to copy any of the three figures he has givenin plate o5, fig. 6. They are there represented as ratherlarger than those of A. pratensis, but thickly spottedwith the same coloured dots on a similar e^roand.
