This species has been taken in winter in the Bahama Islands, 

 Cuba, Jamaica, and Grenada. 



Querquedula cyanoptcra is given by Brewer as occurring in 

 Cuba (Pr. Bost.^ Soc. Nat. Hist, vfl, p. 308, i860). If the 

 species in question was correctly identified, it is of rare occurrence 

 in the West Indies. 



Nyroca fen-uginea is given by W. T. March, as occurring 

 in Jamaica (Pr. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1S64, p. 72). This 

 record is undoubtedlv incorrect. The bird in question was 

 probably some other species wrongly identified, possibly .^wer- 

 qiiedula cyanoptera.
