We have followed Mr. Stephens and Mr. Gould in preserving to 
this species the name of Ferus, and to one of the foregoing A. segetum, 
as being better known than those of Dr. Fleming used by Mr. Selby. 
The above bird arrives here in the winter in great numbers, and, 
according to Temminck, the distribution of it is very wide, being 
over Europe, Nubia, and part of Western atria inhabiting lakes 
and marshes.

laying about ten eggs of a white colour.
