72 Mr. A. G. More on the Distribution of Birds 
miles from Scarborough as breeding-localities; and quite recently 
the Rev. H. Roundell has found the Pochard breeding in the 
Craven district of Yorkshire. 
Obs.—A female Scaup (Fuligula marila) was once shot by Sir 
W. Jardine in Sutherland during summer, and hence it has been 
supposed that this species bred in the north of Scotland. But 
that gentlemen tells me that he considers it was “ most probably 
a wounded bird, or remaining by some accident ”*. Mr. Wolley 
could not find this species during his excursions in Sutherland. 
Furicuxa cristata (Steph.). Tufted Duck. 
Provinces II. V. VIII. X. XI. 
Subprovinces 6, 15, 20, 23, 24. 
Lat. 50°-56°, “English” type. Not in Ireland. 
Mr. Borrer tells me that a brood of Tufted Ducks was found 
near Horsham in May 1858, and another at West Grinstead in 
1854. 
Mr. W. H. Slaney writes that the bird is common on the large 
meres of Stafford and Shropshire, and that he has known of one 
nest in the latter county. 
Sir William Milner and Mr. A. Newton have recorded the 
occurrence of several nests in Nottinghamshire (Zoologist, p.4440; 
Trans. Tyneside Nat. Club, vol. v. p. 40). 
In the ‘ Zoologist’ (p. 2879), mention is made of a brood ob- 
served on Malham Water, in the West Riding of Yorkshire ; and 
Mr. Hancock describes the bird as breeding occasionally in 
Northumberland (Trans. Tyneside Nat. Club, ut supra). 
Obs.—In 1848 two eggs were given to the late Mr. John 
Wolley in Shetland as those of the “Calloo Duck” (the local 
name for Harelda glacialis), with a positive assurance that they 
had been taken on a low holm in that group of islands. So far 
as can be determined from their appearance, there is nothing to 
* In Mr. Selby’s paper on the Birds of Sutherland (Edinb. New. Phil. 
Journ. vol. xx. p. 293), it is stated that this bird ‘ was attended by a young 
one, which unfortunately escaped among the reeds ;” but in the note with 
which J have been favoured by Sir William Jardine, he says nothing about 
the latter, merely mentioning that the old female he shot is now in his 
collection.
