GARROT. NATATORES. CLANGULA. 367 
indeed general modification of the bill, but in the external 
bodily contour, in the prevailing colours and disposition of 
the plumage, and in the length and form of the tail. In the 
structure of the trachea also (which differs from that of any 
of the preceding genera), an approximation is made towards 
the corresponding parts of some of the Mergansers. The 
Garrots are natives of the Arctic Regions, and are more com- 
monly seen upon rivers and fresh water lakes, than on the 
shores of the ocean. Their food consists of aquatic insects, 
the fry of fish, mollusca, crustacea, &c. They fly both with 
much strength and swiftness, and often at a considerable 
height ; and a loud whistling sound is produced by the rapid 
motion of their wings.
