ZOOLOGY. 49 
GREEN-WINGED TEAL (A. Carolinensis). An occasional 
autumn visitant; in some years more common than in 
others. I obtained one or two specimens of it during the 
time I was quartered in Bermuda. 
AMERICAN WIDGEON (A. Americana). Mr. Hurdis sends 
me the following note :—“ During a violent revolving gale, 
which visited the Bermudas, on Sunday, October 22nd, 
1854, numbers of the duck tribe, including this species, 
took refuge in the creeks and marshes of the Islands. 
Several American widgeon were shot by different persons, 
and brought to me for inspection on the following day. 
On the 11th of Nov., 1854, I killed a female specimen in 
the Pembroke Marshes. It is singular that this widgeon 
was never met with during the previous fourteen years in 
which I had been resident in those islands.” 
SurF Scorer (Muliqula perspicillata). One of these sea 
ducks was killed with a stick in the harbour of Hamilton, 
on the 8th of January, 1849, by Mr. Richard Dill, whose 
cook, unfortunately, plucked it instanter. The head, how- 
_ ever, was found by Mr. Hurdis, and proved to be of the 
above species.* 
Scaup Duck (#. marila). Occasionally met with. I shot 
two female specimens, both in their first year’s plumage, 
on the 8th of January, 1849, at Warwick Ponds; and this 
was the only occasion that I ever met with them in 
Bermuda. 
_ GOLDEN-EYE Duck (’. clangula). A male specimen was 
shot, by Captain (now Major) Bull, (56th Regiment), on the 
10th of April, 1854, in Pembroke Marshes. 
* Mr. Hurdis states that another was shot in the Pembroke Marshes, by 
Mr. Fozard, on the 17th of October, 1854.
