The Canvas-back was abundant in winter at the lakes and marslies of 

 the Great Basin, and it was also shot in ]\Iay at Pyramid Lake, when otlun- 

 species were breeding. In June, either this species or the Ked-head was 

 very abundant in the tule-sloughs in the vicinity of Sacramento, where 

 they were undoubtedly breeding. We could obtain no specimens, however, 

 although numbers were seen, and are consequently doubtful as to the species.
