180. Anas boschas, L. 

 Frequent. 



181. Nettion earolinensis, (Gm.) Green winged Teal. 

 1-82. Querguedula discors, (L.) Blue-winged Teal. 



These two species are perhaps the most common and generally-dis- 

 tributed of the family. Nearly every little stream and pond-hole con- 

 taining sufficient water to float them will be found occupied by a flock 

 of either of the two species, or often both mingled together. 



183. Spatula clypeata, (L.) Shoveler. 

 Numerous. 



184. Erismatum rubida, (Wils.) Buddy Duck. 



One shot at the Old Crater, south of Zuni, ET. Mex. 



LARID^E (the Gulls and Terns). 



185. Sterna hirundo, L. Common Tern. 



A single specimen was shot on the San Pedro Eiver, Arizona, in Sep- 

 tember. The river at this point was but a small stream, perhaps twenty 

 feet across, and the bird was flying slowly up this, closely scanning the 

 water for fish. The most western point at which this bird has hitherto 

 been known to occur is Wisconsin.
