WORDSWORTH. 



THE Smew is a rare winter visitor to the coast of Berwick- 

 shire, and has been obtained only once in the interior of the 

 county, a specimen in Kelso Museum having been killed 

 at the Hirsel, near Colds tream. 1 An adult male in full 

 plumage was shot at Eyemouth a few years previous to 

 1880, and is now in my possession, having been kindly 

 presented to me by Mr. Evan Sanderson, Berwick- on - 

 Tweed.
