jBucephala Islandica Baird. Barrow's Golden-eye. 

 There can be no doubt that this species, at least occasion- 

 ally if not regularly, visits the whole of New England. 

 It is recorded from the St. Lawrence, and as far south as 

 New York City. Its only record from New England, so 

 far as I am aware, is Calais, Me., "winter, very rare;" 

 (^Boardm., p. 129.) For some interesting notes con- 

 cerning it, see JEUiot, Ann. Lye. N. H. N. Y., vii, Jan., 

 1862.
