230 Bulletin No. 7, 



Nutt. Orn. Club, II, 1877, 22). The specimens reported by me 

 (Am. Nat., Ill, 1870, 640) as taken at Ipswich and Nantucket 

 were found 1 ater to be P. fuscits. (See remarks under P. fuse us.) 

 There is, however, a recent New Brunswick record (Chamber I aine^ 

 Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, VII, 1882, 106). 



[51.] Pelecanus fllSCUS. BROWN PELICAN. Accidental. Ips- 

 wich (Maynard, Nat. Guide, 1870, 149); Nantucket (Allen, Am. 

 Nat., Ill, Feb. 1870, 640), but wrongly given as P. erythrorhyncos* 



52. Merganser americanus. AMERICAN MERGANSER. Com- 

 mon winter visitant, but most numerous in fall and spring. Proba- 

 bly formerly bred in the State. 



53. Merganser serrator. RED-BREASTED MERGANSER. 

 Common in spring and fall, many remaining in winter. 



54. Lophodytes CUCllllatllS. HOODED MERGANSER. Rather 

 common spring and autumn visitant, many remaining in winter, 

 and a few perhaps in summer. 



*55. Anas boschas. MALLARD. A very rare straggler in 

 spring and fall. Said to breed regularly at Somerset (Cones 

 and Slade, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, VIII, 1883, 186). 



*56. Anas Obscura. BLACK DUCK. Abundant winter resident, 

 and rare in summer; doubtless formerly regularly resident the 

 whole year. A recent record of its breeding in the State is Reho- 

 both (F. H. C\arpente)\ Orn. and Ool., IX, 1884, 125). 



57. Anas strepera. GADWALL. Rare spring and autumn 

 visitant; perhaps only accidental. (See Brewster, Bull. Nutt. Orn. 

 Club, VIII, 1883, 163.) 



58. Anas americana. BALDPATE. Spring and autumn visi- 

 tant. Rare. 



59. Anas carolinensis. GREEN-WINGED TEAL. Rather un- 

 common spring and autumn migrant (Brewster, Bull. Nutt. Orn. 

 Club, VIII, 1878, 163). 



60. Anas discors. BLUE-WINGED TEAL. Rather rare spring, 

 and abundant autumn, migrant; formerly doubtless a summer 

 resident. (See Brewster, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, VIII, 1883, 163.) 



* Corrected in a note added to last page of author's extras, in which it is stated that u from 

 information just received there is every reason for believing that this flock [of White Pelicans, 

 mentioned on page 40 (of extras) as having visited Nantucket Island,] were Brown Pelicans."
