Bucephala Islandica Baird. Barrow's Golden-eye.

 ally if not regularly, visits the whole of New England. 

 It is record^ed from the St. Lawrence, and as far south as 

 New York City. Its only record from New England, so 

 far as I am aware, is Calais, Me., "winter, very rare;"

 cerning it, see Elliot, Ann. Lye. N. H. N. Y., vii, Jan.,
