Mr. Gould observes that, “A good figure of this beautiful shoveller may be found in the 3rd vol. of Messrs. Jardine and Selby’s Illustrations of Ornithology. Their figure was taken from an example which I forwarded to those gentlemen with the name of maculata attached: my specimen was received from the Rio Plata, and this is also the locality whence (in October) Mr. Darwin’s specimen was procured. The numerous and conspicuous spots distributed over the body, renders this species readily distinguishable from all the other members of the genus.”
