40 A NATURAL HISTORY OF THE DUCKS 



attention has never been given to any save the Carolina Duck, and this bird has been 

 reared by the hundred. 



The following species have laid eggs, and young have been reared to maturity 

 from them, usually under hens as foster mothers: Mallard, Indian Spot-bill, Aus- 

 tralian Duck, Pintail, European Green-winged Teal, American Blue-winged Teal,
