MISCELLANEA ORNITHOLOGICA, 279 
EGYPTIAN GOOSE. 
I saw some in October, 1866, which had been shot at 
Tees-mouth. They have been recorded (Zool. ss. 525). 
Whether they were “escapes” I know not, but one which 
I examined in the flesh presented no signs of domestication. 
They struck me as being a sedentary bird in Egypt. 
Nyroca DUCK. 
Mr. Rudd records a specimen at Coatham (Zool. 2773). 
This Duck has several English names, but it is perhaps. 
most generally known as the Nyroca or White-eyed Duck. 
WHITE-WINGED TERN, 
A specimen in Mr. Hancock’s collection was shot at 
Tees-mouth (op. cit., p. 144). 
PELICAN. 
The last on my list is the Pelican which Canon Tristram 
found dead upon the shore (Zool., 5321). It is conjectured 
that it may have died on board some passing vessel. It 
was Pelecanus onocrotalus, so far as Canon Tristram could 
judge from a specimen minus its head.
