Dr. Richardson, who killed this species early in !May, 

 on the banks of the Saskatchewan, observes, that it 

 breeds in all parts of the fur countries, from the 50th 

 parallel to their most northern limits ; and that it asso- 

 ciates on the water with the FuUgulaferina, marilla, and 

 several of the freshwater ducks.

The circumstance of having just witnessed this very 

 handsome and interesting duck sporting and diving 

 about, along with that part of the collection of living 

 water-fowl turned out by the Ornithological Society on 

 the canal in St. James's Park, sufficiently proves that 

 it may be in some measure domesticated, and accustomed 

 to such situations ; although there may be but small 

 hope of its ever being induced to breed in confinement.
