Obs. The late Dr. John Rae, the distinguished 

 Arctic traveller, who was well acquainted with this 

 bird, stated {Field, Mar. 18, 1876) that in Orkney 

 the Surf Scoter, " although not common, is by no- 

 means rare. In the latter part of September or 

 during October he had seen one or more every 

 year for the last ten years in the large bay which 

 separates Kirkwall from Firth and Kendall. They 

 were always in the neighbourhood of, or in company 

 with, the Velvet Scoter."
