242 SYSTEMATIC CATALOGUE. 



inland as Amberley, during the hard winter of 

 1844-45. 



GOLDEN EYE, Fuligula clangula. Adult males 

 are unusual, but females and young birds are 

 killed on the coast every winter, and on rivers and 

 ponds several miles inland. I have shot it at 

 Pagham, and have received several specimens 

 killed at Burton and Pulborough, presenting that 

 state of the immature plumage in which it has 

 been called the Morillon. 



SMEW, Mergus albellm. Like the golden eye, 

 the females and young males of this species are 

 most frequently met with. They have been killed 

 in various parts of the county. I have, however, 

 seen many examples of the adult male bird. One 

 is in my own collection which was shot at Shore- 

 ham; there is another at Hollycombe, obtained 

 in that neighbourhood. Two have been killed at 

 Burton on the upper pond ; one, a few years ago, 

 which is still preserved there; the other during 

 the present winter a very beautiful specimen 

 has been kindly presented to me by Mr. Bain- 

 bridge. It has also occurred at Amberley, Pag- 

 ham, and Newhaven. 



RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, Mergus serrator. 

 Males in the perfect plumage are very rare. 

 Females and immature birds of both sexes have 

 frequently occurred.
