BIRDS. 57 
Fuligula cristata (Zeach). Tufted Duck. 
Winter visitant, common on the Humber and coast; less so 
on inland waters. One instance of its breeding at Malham 
Tarn in 1849 has been recorded (Cooke, Zool., 1849, 
p- 2879). It has also been observed to remain occasionally 
through the summer at Hornsea Mere, Sir W. Milner 
(Zool., 1854, p. 4441) surmising that it possibly bred there. 
. Nyroca ferruginea (Gm.). White-eyed Duck. 
Casual visitant, of very rare occurrence. 
Coatham Marsh Decoy, one taken Jan. 17, 1850 (Rudd, 
Zool., 1850, p. 2773). .

the collection of Mr. J. Whitaker (Whitaker, MS. ;

. Clangula glaucion (Z.). Goldeneye. 
Winter visitant, immature birds being not uncommon on the 
coast and in the Humber in severe seasons ; old males are 
always rare. Inland it is frequently observed on extensive 
waters, and, as on the coast, is most abundant in severe 
winters. 
Cosmonetta histrionica (Z.). Harlequin Duck. 
Accidental visitant from Northern Europe, Asia, and 
America, of extremely rare occurrence. Out of twenty-two 
British occurrences Mr. Dresser is of opinion that two
