56 BIRDS. 
222 Querquedula crecca (Z.). Common Teal. 
Resident, very local, breeding regularly on Strensall and 
Riccall Commons, and at Malham Tarn, and occasionally 
in other localities in the county. As a winter visitant, 
common, arriving sometimes as early as the middle of 
August. 
223. Querquedula circia (Z.). Garganey Teal. 
Casual visitant in spring and autumn, more especially at the 
former season ; is most frequent in eastern Yorkshire, being 
a rare straggler far inland. Two in the collection of Mr. 
J. H. Gumey, jun., were obtained at Bridlington on the 1st

which were obtained in autumn at Flamborough. 
224. Dafila acuta (Z.). Pintail.

severe seasons, but is rare far inland. Mr. Cordeaux tells 
me that mature males are scarce. 
225. Mareca penelope (Z.). Wigeon. 
Winter visitant, common on the Humber and many inland 
waters. It has been noted that inland this bird is most 
abundant in mild seasons. Old females are comparatively 
rare, 
Mr. Stephenson, of Whitby, informs me that a pair or two 
breed annually on the Fen Bog near that place, and that a 
female has been shot off the nest.

Resident, extremely local; breeds annually in some num- 
bers on Hornsea Mere, and formerly on the Mere ar
