Linnaeusdefcribes it as a diftincl; fpecies under the name Adunca; and itcannot but be iuterefting to afcertain the bird Linnaeus defcribes asa fpecies, whether it be really only a variety or not. We fliall there-fore offer no apology for its introduction in this place. The figure of the Hook-billed Duck in the annexed plate is takenfrom a very fine fpecimen in our Mufeum.
