Nettium Carolinense. September 19, 1909. The drake now has a head and neck like the female. A few black bars are appearing on the back, and the breast looks very much like that of the female. October 19, 1909. Visited Dr. Clark of the Alameda County Hospital. In his collection of live ducks I saw two drakes which had the green and brown heads but were barred on the sides like the females. October 27, 1909. My last drake teal died to-day. It was in about the eclipse plumage, and probably at the most extreme stage it would have reached. Some red feathers were beginning to appear in the throat. E.W. Gifford No. 4005. November 1, 1909. The female which I have left has been in fine fresh plumage for sometime, January 30, 1911. The female dacque has been in high plumage for some time.
