About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Bombay Ducks: An Account of Some of the Every-Day Birds and Beasts Found in a Naturalist's Eldorado Some apology is perhaps necessary for the title of this book, since the Ducks herein dealt with belong t to the quack-quack tribe. Bombay Ducks is a time-houred Anglo-Indian expression. In the palmy days of the East India Company, when the w-barren pagoda-tree showered its fruits upon all who shook it, the European residents of the Western Presidency were kwn as Bombay Ducks to distinguish them from Bengal Qui-his and Madras Mulls. In very early times Ducks was spelt Duckys and is probably a corruption of the Latin duces = leaders or bosses. Dwellers in Bombay are longer called ducks, nevertheless the expression Bombay Ducks or Bombay Duck still survives. It w detes (I kw t why) brittle pieces of sun-dried fish which are eaten with curry in South India. It seems to me that the animals dealt with in this volume, all of which are to be found on the Bombay side, have at least an equal right with pieces of dried fish to be called Bombay Ducks.
