mon, in the strict sense of the word, much north of North 

 Carolina, though it is not rare on Chesapeake Bay and win- 

 ters as far north, even, as Delaware. It is not a hardy 

 species, and therefore, few individuals remain where there 

 is cold weather and ice. 



Cinnamon Teal: 



This species, "Querquedula cyanoptera," does not re- 

 tire but slightly south of its breeding range for the winter. 

 It is found at this season as far north as Brownsville, 

 Texas, central New Mexico, southern Arizona, and around 

 Tulare Lake, California, South of Mexico the only record 

 is of accidental occurrence in Costa Rica. 



Shoveler: 



A few "Spatula clypeata," or shovelers, pass south in

 and through the West Indies. This species is accounted 

 rare in Florida, and seems not to have been noted in the 

 Bahamas. 



The Carolinas are the only states on the Atlantic coast 

 where they are common, but it is not rare in Maryland, and 

 there are a few winter records for New Jersey; however, 

 the greater part of this species winters in the southern Mis- 

 sissippi Valley, north rarely to southern Illinois, and as far 

 south as central Guatemala, through Mexico. Many hun-

 numbers winter in the Hawaiian Islands. During the flight 

 between their winter and summer home they pass through

 Massachusetts; however, for the past fifteen years, only in-
