This hybrid was received by the Zoo- logical Society of London on 20th March, 1911, and died on 22nd February, 1912. Although the identity of the male parent has not apparently been recorded, the characters suggest that it was the White-eyed White-eyed Pochard x Marbled Teal (centre) with males of the parental species. DESCRIPTION White-eyed Pochard x Marbled Teal, adult male. This hybrid, in colour, is a diluted version of the male White-eyed Pochard or Ferruginous Duck, with the rich reddish-chestnut of that species replaced by deep ginger. The back and mantle are dark brownish- ginger, the feathers having broad paler tips so that the pattern is similar to that of the Marbled Teal. The forehead, crown, and nape are almost as richly coloured as in the White-eyed Pochard, but each feather has a sub- terminal blackish mark resulting in a speckled effect. The area around and posterior to the eye is blackish to dark brown. The general facial colour.
