Sub-fam. 6. _Chenonettinae._–_Chenonetta jubata_ of Australia has a brown head, long black feathers on the hind-neck, greyish upper parts with black tail, rump, and edges to the scapulars, a green speculum with white borders, a breast mottled with black, grey, and whitish, and a black abdomen. The female is paler, with dull speculum and white belly. It lays its creamy-white eggs in the bush districts in hollow trees, perching even on the tallest of them, and uttering a barking note. _Cyanochen cyanoptera_, of Abyssinia and Shoa, is grey-brown in both sexes, with black wings relieved by lead-blue coverts, and green speculum tipped with white. _Chloëphaga hybrida_, the Kelp Goose of Patagonia and the Falklands, which lives and breeds on the beach, is white, having a black bill with basal yellow spot, and yellow feet. The female is brownish-black with white rump, tail, and anal region, and black lower parts barred with white; the neck shews narrow white bands on its sides, the black and white wing has the greater coverts green, and the bill is flesh-coloured. _C. melanoptera_, of Western America from Peru southwards, is distinguished by brown and white scapulars, black primaries and tail, green and purple wing-coverts, red bill and feet; the female being similar. _C. magellanica_, the Upland Goose, coextensive in range with _C. hybrida_, is white, barred with black above; the rump, four median rectrices, and wings being grey-black, with green and white on the wing-coverts, and white secondaries; the bill and feet are dusky. The female is rufous and black, with similar wings but yellow feet. _C. inornata_, of Chili, Argentina, and Patagonia, differs in having black pectoral bands and a grey head in the female. _C. poliocephala_, of the same {131}countries, with plumbeous, and _C. rubidiceps_, of the Falklands, with cinnamon head, have in both sexes chestnut and black plumage, the wing being as in _C. magellanica_, the bill black, the feet black and orange. _C. melanoptera_ will nest in holes in cliffs.
