In Vigo County, it was a not uncommon summer resident, breeding in 
holes in trees in the bayous and swamps along the Wabash. One obtained 
on Honey Creek, south of Terre Haute, February 29, 1888. 
In Carroll County, it was rather common, at least as late as 1880. In 
my boyhood days (1864-1875), one might safely expect to find a pair at every 
secluded reach of Wild Cat and other creeks of the county, and at every 
permanent woodland pond. Noted on Deer Creek in July, 1877, March 1 and 
14, 1879, and on March 26, 1885, I saw a pair flying up Deer Creek. On the 
Kankakee, in northern Indiana, this most beautiful of all our ducks, is still 
a common species. 
25. MARILA AMERICANA (Eyton). REDHEAD. (146) 
A rare spring and fall migrant. I haye few definite records, but I remem- 
ber distinctly to have seen it in the Terre Haute market in 1S86-91. March 
9, 1888, two males taken near Terre Haute. 
26. MARILA VALISINERIA (Wilson). CANVAS-BACK. (147) 
A rare spring and fall migrant. Although rarely seen on the river, it is 
one of the most abundant ducks on the lakes in the north part of the state, 
especially in the fall. One brought me by Mr. Ed. Tetzel, of Terre Haute, in 
the spring of 1889. 
27. MARILA MARILA (Linnzeus). SCAUP DUCK; BIG BLUEBILL. (148) 
Spring and fall migrant, at least in Carroll and Vigo counties, much less 
common than the Little Bluebill. I have no definite records. Never known 
as Scaup Duck in Indiana, 
28. MARILA AFFINIS (Eyton). LESSER SCAUP DUCK j LITTLE BLUEBILL. (149) 
Common spring and fall migrant; very abundant on Lake Maxinkuckee 
and other small northern Indiana lakes, especially in the fali; iess common 
in Carroll and Vigo, and still less so in Monroe. A good many killed each 
fall along the Wabash. I obtained one on Deer Creek, near Camden, April 
18, 1885. One seen on White River, near Gosport, May 8, 1886, and several 
were seen the same day by W.S. Blatchley on Clear Creek, Monroe County. 
Three seen March 9, 1888, near Terre Haute. Noted also by Dr. Scovell 
and Dr. Jenkins. The name Lesser Scaup Duck is rarely or never heard in 
Indiana. 
29. CLANGULA CLANGULA AMERICANA Bonaparte. GOLDEN-EYE. (151) 
I have noted this only in Carroll County, as a very rare migrant in March 
and April; no definite record. 
30. CLANGULA ISLANDICA (Gmelin). BARROW’S GOLDEN-EYE. (152 
The only record I have is of a female which I shot on Deer Creek, near 
Camden, March 19, 1885. It is a very rare duck in this part of Indiana.
