PINTAIL. 
We did not find the Pintail a common bird on the Arctic coast of 
Alaska. 
During the summer of 1913 small flocks were ich alle seen 
flying east, the last seen being a flock of four flying east at Demarca- 
tion Point, September 2 2. 
During the spring of 1914 the species was first noted on ver 24, — 
a single pair in a pond. From this date until June 1 several eciita 
weré to be seen in the vicinity every day. Then pairs and small 
flocks were seen for several days, the sexes in the flocks about evenly 
divided, though sometimes males predominated. After June 12 I 
seldom saw any Pintails, except an occasional pair flying about. No 
nests were found.
