148 BIRDS OF THE HARLESTON DISTRICT. 



125. POCHARD (Fuligula ferina).j 

 Occasionally shot in winter. 



126. GOLDEX EYE (Clanyula ylaucion} 1 



Mr. J. A. Holmes tells me that some years ago he shot a 

 Duck at Needham, which he identified with the " Morillon," of 

 Bewick. It has been occasionally seen at Oakley, near 

 Hoxne (Babington's Birds of Suffolk). 



f Here, as elsewhere, the Teal, Wigeon. and Pochard, are known as 

 "Half- Duck." My list of Wild Fowl visiting our river marshes in winter is 

 very defective, and might be largely added to if our local gunners would pay 

 as much attention to the birds they kill as they do to their sport.
