New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts records. Abbot, Geology of 
New Jersey p, 792; Treat, Auk, 8:112; Mackay, Auk, 7: 204 
6 (141) Cinnamon teal 
Querquedula cyanoptera (Vieill.) 
Accidental east of the Mississippi. 
7 [168] Masked duck 
Nomonyx dominicus (Linn.) 
This tropical form has occurred accidentally in Massachusetts, Wiscon- 
sin and on Lake Champlain. This latter record would seem to entitle 
it to a place in our avifauna but it is placed in the hypothetic list as the 
bird is said to have been secured on the Vermont side of the lake. 
8 (173a) White-bellied brant 
Branta bernicla glaucogastra (Brehm) 
This subspecies has been recognized in America by Coues. See Auk, 
14:207-8. This form may be looked for in our state, though I can find 
no records as yet.
