A male, shot on tlie Tring reservoirs, Hertfordshire, 

 Nov. 1901, was believed to be a wild bird, but the evidence 

 seems scarcely sufficient. Examples kept on the lakes at 

 Woburn Abbey may have bred there. 



This Duck breeds from eastern Siberia to Kamchatka, 

 ranging in winter to India and Burma, occasionally, also, to 

 China and Japan, and even visiting Waigoe Island to the 

 north-west of New Guinea.

An immature male Golden-eye obtained in Suffolk, Feb. 

 1908, and believed to be of this species, was afterwards 

 shown to be G. clangula. Two adult males, said to have 

 been killed recently in the Shetlands, were probably 

 imported from Iceland. 



Barrow'fl Golden-eye breeds in the northern parts of 

 North America ; also in Iceland, but rarely visits Greenland. 

 In winter it ranges south to California, Utah, Illinois, and 

 New York. It is an occasional straggler to north-western 

 Europe.
