Brisson, in his ** Ornithologie,” pl. 37, fig. 2, vol. 6, has figured this 
bird in mistake for Clangula vulgaris, quoting for it the synonyms of 
Willoughby (whose plate is that of C. vulgaris) and of Linneus. The 
specimen from which his description and plate is taken was in the 
collection of M. de Reaumur ; he does not, however, say from whence 
- obtained.
