GARROT. NATATORES. CLANGULA. 367 



indeed general modification of the bill, but in the external 

 bodily contour, in the prevailing colours and disposition of 

 the plumage, and in the length and form of the tail. In the 

 structure of the trachea also (which differs from that of any 

 of the preceding genera), an approximation is made towards 

 the corresponding parts of some of the Mergansers. The 

 Garrots are natives of the Arctic Regions, and are more com- 

 monly seen upon rivers and fresh water lakes, than on the 

 shores of the ocean. Their food consists of aquatic insects, 

 the fry of fish, mollusca, Crustacea, &c. They fly both with 

 much strength and swiftness, and often at a considerable 

 height ; and a loud whistling sound is produced by the rapid 

 motion of their wings.
