THE BLUE-WINGED TEAL. 
(QuUERQUEDULA Discors.) 
Admitted to the B.O.U. List. 
Not admitted by Saunders, 
to place and picture, who under the articleon the ‘Teal’ 
passes the occurrences in review wzthout pronouncing his 
final concbuszon. 
Rejected by Seebohm, 
who says ‘‘eggs indistinguishable from those of the 
Garganey.” I would submit that it may be found that 
the eggs of both the Blue, and Green-winged Teals, of 
America, have Jess gloss than the eggs of the Garganey, 
and Teal, of our country. 
I have four eggs of this bird and they are deczdedly 
less glossy than my sets of Garganey, and Teal. 
My eggs were taken by Mr. W. H. King, at Eagle 
Rock, Idaho, on May 18, 1883. They have no gloss at 
all; and are smaller than those of the Green-winged Teal. 
THE GREEN-WINGED TEAL. 
( ANAS CAROLINENSIS. ) 
Admitted to the B O.U. List. 
Not mentioned by Saunders. 
Admitted by Seebohm, 
“because tt has occurved twice and possibly three times im our 
Islands.” 
The eggs of this Teal so far as my limited experience 
goes are a little glosszer than those of the Blue-winged 
Teal.
