There are no records of its occurrence in Yucatan, though it has been takenon Cozumel Island, off the coast (Salvin, 1889, 1890). In Honduras it was found at Lake Yojoa(G. C. Taylor, 1860) and it has been recorded also from Sucuija and San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua(Nutting, 1885). Carriker (1910) states that it is abundant on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, though. Map 15.

In Costa Rica also it has been recorded for Guanacaste (von Frant-zius, 1869), Cartago (Boucard, 1878), Rio Frio and Rio Escondido (Richmond, 1893), between Be-bedero and Miravalles (Underwood, 1896), La Palma (Nutting, 1882) and Nicoya (Arce, BritishMuseum). In Panama it was found at Loma del Leon (Salvadori and Festa, 1899; P. L. Sclaterand Salvin, 1864), at Agua Dulce (Salvin and Godman, 1897-1904) and in the Canal Zone (Stone,1918). The southernmost record for the species appears to be that of Wood (Proc. Acad. Nat. , 1860, p. 197) for the Truando River, Colombia, near the Panama border, but this is held byF. M. Chapman (1917) to refer to Dendrocygna discolor. The present species has been recorded as accidental in the island of Jamaica (Gosse, 1847; Newton,1881; Cory, 1889). The statement that it is
