THE EIDER DUCK. 



25: 



The eider duck is a native of the Arctic seas, and is found in great abundance 

 along the shores of Iceland, Greenland, Lapland, and in Hudson's and Baffin's 

 Bays. In the cold countries where the eider duck lives, its flesh is used for 

 food, but we should think it had a rank and unpleasant taste. 



Eider down is an article of commerce, and much in request to make into 

 quilts and articles of clothing. 



THE GREY GOOIjE. 



THE GOOSE. 



The goose is a bird of great value. Not only does it figure with general 

 acceptance on the table, but its feathers and down contribute largely to the 

 comfort and repose of many.
