THE BIRDS OF WAYNE COUNTY. 343 



10. Aythya collaris (DONOV.). 

 Ring-necked Duck. 



According to Wheaton, this species occurs abundantly as a transient in the 

 State. 



11. Oidemia americana Svv. & RICH. 



American Scoter. 



Occurs as an occasional winter visitor in the State. 



12. Oidemia deglandi BONAP. 



White-winged Scoter. 



This species has been taken both on Lake Erie and in the interior of the 

 State. 



13. Chen hyperborea (PALL.). 



Lesser Snow Goose. 



Probably occurs, at least sparingly, with the next species. 



14. Chen hyperborea nivalis (FORST.). 



Greater Snow Goose. 



Mentioned by Wheaton as a rather irregular transient in Ohio, apparently more 

 common on the Lake shore than elsewhere in the State. 



15. Anser albifrons gambeli (HARTL.). 



American White-fronted Goose. 



A transient visitor ; occurring more or less frequently throughout the State. 



16. Branta canadensis hutchinsii (RICH.). 



Hutchins' Goose. 



Wheaton gives it as a rare transient ; but a critical examination of the wild Gees 

 killed in Ohio may possibly determine this subspecies to be of more frequent appear- 

 ance than it has heretofore been considered. 



17. Olor buccinator (RICH.). 



Trumpeter Swan. 



Has been several times taken in Ohio ; and some of the Swans which have from 

 time to time been seen in Wayne County may have been of this species.
