15. (140) Querquedula discors. BLUE-wINGED TEAL.—This teal 
has, according to the keepers, also been taken at the island, both 
in spring and fall, but was not seen by us. 
16. (143) Dafila acuta. PinTat~L—The pintail was reported as 
not uncommon about the island, in spring and late fall. 
17. (144) Aix sponsa. Wooo Dvuck.—This species was said to 
have once bred on the island, and has been seen by the keepers 
in the spring and fall. 
18. (146) Marila americana. RepDHEAD.—The redhead occurs 
about the island in spring and fall, and has often been seen and 
occasionally shot by the light-house keepers. 
19. (147) Marila valisineria, CANVAS-BACK.—This species 0c- 
curs with the redhead in migration, and is sometimes taken by 
the keepers. 
20. (148) IJlarila marila. Scave Duck.—Mr. Singleton informed 
me that the blue-bill is common about the island during migrations. 
He shot an adult female on November 10, 1910, and sent it to the 
Museum. 
21. (149) IMarila affinis, Lesser Scauep DucKk.—This species is 
no doubt more common than the preceding, and probably composes 
the bulk of the blue-bills seen here. 
22, (151) Clangula clangula americana. GoLpEN-EYE—The first 
record for this duck was obtained by the writer on October 4, when 
an adult male was noticed feeding off the end of Light-House 
Point. The species was seen again at the same place on October 
9. The keepers said that it was very abundant in November and 
December all about the island, and that they shot more of this 
species than of any other. Mr. Singleton sent to the Museum two 
adult females that were taken at the island on November 12, 1910, 
25. (153) Charitonetla albeola. JUPFLE-HEAD.—This duck was 
not seen by the writer, but Mr. McDonald said that it occurred on 
the pond both in spring and fall. 
24. (154) Harelda hyemalis. OLp-sQuaw.—The old-squaw is a 
very common species about the island in fall, winter and spring. 
The first ones were seen by the writer on October 11, but the fish- 
ermen said that they made their appearance about their nets on 
Sepember 25 of this year. They call the species “ Cow-een” and 
“squealing duck.” 
25. (172) Branta canadensis canadensis. CANADA GoosE.—Not 
seen by us but said to be abundant during migrations both in 
spring and fall. Mr. McDonald said that several were once killed 
as they were crossing over the island.
