Charitonetta albeola (153). Bufflehead. 
Common in winter, arriving the latter part of September, 
one was at Patapsco marsh on May 7 (’90, Resler). 
On February 15, 1895, just after the blizzard, one came up the 
harbor into the upper basin and stayed round off Bowley’s 
wharf for a long time. Inland, it has been taken at Sandy 
Springs in April (Stabler); a pair were seen near Harper’s Fer- 
ry on October 10 (’93 Fisher), and they have been shot at Cum- 
berland (Shriver). 
Clangula hyemalis (154). Old Squaw. 
Common in winter on the Chesapeake; I noted one at Fort 
McHenry on October 27, (’94), and they remain with us until 
late in April. On March 4, 1895, there were several hundred 
in the mouth of Chester River on broad water, nearly all in pairs, 
but occasionally a few males were in a bunch by. themselves. As 
the steamboat was running before a terrific snow squall, we got 
quite close before they flushed. Often they dived and on 
coming up appeared to be flying before they emerged. On the 
6th it was blowing a gentle breeze, and although they were ex-~ 
tremely numerous, we did not get close to any. 
Loch Raven (Dukehart). 
Camptolaimus labradorius (156). Labrador Duck. 
Now extinct, they were apparently quite numerous in Au- 
dubon’s time, for he says (vi, 329): “The range of this species 
along the shores does not extend further southward than Ches- 
apeake Bay, where I have seen some near the influx of the St. 
James River. I havealso met with several in the Baltimore 
market.” 
Somateria dresseri (160). American Hider. 
“Winters southward to Delaware” (Chapman, 117). “In 
the old collection of the Maryland Academy of Sciences was a 
specimen from Maryland, collected at Pamunkey Neck, below 
Marshall Hall, by Mr. Chapman” (P. R. Uhler).
