256 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



two young ones, but this was doubtless due to an amalgamation 

 of broods. On May 9th, 1893, at Wallog, eggs were found in a 

 burrow at the top of the cliff, a situation which seemed better 

 suited to a Jackdaw. 



Wigeon, Mareca penelope. Large flocks appear upon the 

 Dovey at intervals all through the winter. They get unsettled 

 about the first week in March, preparatory to departure. 



Garganey, Querquedula circia. An example shot upon the 

 Teifi Bog about twenty years since is preserved at Crosswood. 

 Mr. Hutchings has received another more recently. 



Teal, Q, crecca. Occurs on the Dovey in flocks of thirty or 

 less. Breeds on the Teifi and Borth bogs, and probably sparsely 

 in other localities. 



Pintail, Dafila acuta. An occasional visitor to the Dovey 

 from October to March. Mr. F. T. Fielden has obtained four 

 examples. 



Wild Duck, Anas boscas. Common ; breeding chiefly upon 

 the lowland bogs, but sparingly in suitable spots upon the hills. 



Gadwall, Chaulelasmus streperus. One obtained by Mr. F. 

 T. Fielden upon the Dovey, Dec. 6th, 1889. 



Shoveller, Spatula clypeata. Obtained not uncommonly, 

 generally upon the Dovey, whence there is a drake in fine 

 plumage at Gogerddan. Mr. F. T. Fielden saw a flock of five on 

 Dec. 9th, J 890. 



Pochard, Fuligula ferina. Occurs irregularly and in small 

 numbers. 



Tufted Duck, F. cristata. Small flocks of six or eight visit 

 the Dovey at times. 



Scaup, F. marila. Upon the Dovey occurs chiefly in small 

 flocks in October, though single birds are met with later. 



Scoter, (Edemia nigra. In flocks upon the sea off Aberystwyth 

 from November to March. 



Velvet Scoter, (E.fusca. Mr. F. T. Fielden has met with 

 one example at Borth. 



Goldeneye, Clangula glaucion. A few are seen most winters 

 upon the Dovey, and several have occurred upon inland pools. 

 Mr. F. T. Fielden has only once noted an adult male. 



Long-tailed Duck, Harelda glacialis. An occasional visitor 

 to the Dovey, but decidedly scarce. Two examples obtained by 

 Mr. F. T. Fielden. One was shot in the winter of 1893-94 upon 

 Nanteos Lake,
