It is a male and is now preserved in our collection. The male parent was the Cinnamon Teal, Anas cyanoptera Vieillot, the duck a Northern Shoveler, A. clypeata Linnaeus. In appearance this bird is a typical Shoveler species, and as a drake it evinces little sexual dimorphism, in this respect of course conforming to the southern group of Shovelers, particularly the Australian Shoveler, A. rhynchotis rhynchotis Phillips. Although this bird died in July, it should be noted that when it was prepared, its moult was to all intents and purposes complete, and that therefore its characters were fully developed and no further significant alteration would have occurred.
