once heard never to be forgotten. I have met with 

 Wigeon in considerable numbers during the winter and 

 early spring in Andalucia and all parts of the Mediter- 

 ranean coast that I have visited ; and I find it stated 

 that in the Old World it is to be met with at various 

 seasons from the Arctic Circle as far south as Abyssinia. 

 In captivity the Wigeon thrives remarkably well and 

 becomes very tame, but has not very often been known 

 to nest in a pinioned condition.
