It is abundant, however, on the Upper Zambesi (Bradshaw, fide Stark and Sclater, 1906; Holub and von Pelzeln, 1882) and in northwestern Bechuana Protectorate on the Botletli River (Bryden, 1893), on Lake Ngami where it is resident and presumably breeds (Andersson, 1872), at Kanye (Nicolls and Eglington, 1892). It is fairly abundant also in Portuguese West Southwest Africa, south of the Cuanza River, where it was found at Kakondo, on the Kunene, Africa at Huilla, Gambos and Humbe (Barboza de Bocage, 1877-81). According to Fleck (1894) it occurs in former German Southwest Africa near Rehoboth, Fish River, and Andersson (1872) describes it as common in the rainy season in Damaraland and Great Namaqualand, and breed-ing in Ovampoland. South of the Orange River the present species occurs only as a rare straggler. It has been taken on the Kleinmont River, Bathurst Division (Layard, 1875-84), and once in Pondoland, Cape Colony</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>Qg ^3 e Q oO c+3 3 CO CO COMB or KNOB-BILLED DUCK 71 (Horsbrugh, 1912). A specimen had apparently been taken also in Natal some time before 1862 (Sclater, Ibis, ser. 1, vol. 4, p. 284, 1862). There is no record of its occurrence in the Orange South Af-River Colony, but it has been taken on the Molopo River near Mafeking, southwestern rica; Orange Transvaal (W. Ayres, 1887; Shelley, 1882) at Potchefstroom (Barratt, 1876; W. Ayres, River 1887) and at Rustenburg (W. Ayres, 1887). According to C. H. Taylor (1907), it is resident and breeds in southeastern Transvaal in the Amersfoort District, and Haagner (1914) recently discovered it breeding on the Crocodile River in the same general region, this being the southernmost breeding record. Between the Limpopo and the Zambesi, that is in southern Rhodesia, the species has been frequently found. There are specimens from the Tati River in the South African Museum, and F. Oates(1881) found it on the Ramaquaban River. It is common during the</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
