304 BUCEPHALA CLANGULA 



Rathbun, 1915) and in Oregon (Woodcock, 1902; Jewett, 1914), though in California it is much 

 Pacific less common, becoming rare in the southern parts (Grinnell, Bryant and Storer, 1918) 



Coast w ith the exception of Salton Sea (Hogg, Field and Stream, April, 1923). According to 



Cooke (1906) it has been taken in northeastern Lower California and G. N. Lawrence (1874) quotes 

 Grayson as saying that it is a common bird at Mazatlan, Mexico, in winter. 



In the interior it winters commonly as far north as western Montana (A. A. Saunders, 1921), 



Wyoming (Preble, U.S. Biological Survey), Colorado (Felger, 1909; L. J. Hersey and Rockwell, 1909) 



T tenor anc ^ rare l v m Arizona (Swarth, 1914) and New Mexico (Leopold, 1919). East of the 



Rockies it is found as far north as Lake Superior (Roberts, 1916; Hatch, 1892) and 



ississippi Lak e Michigan (Kumlien and Hollister, 1903) and thence south in Nebraska (Bruner, 

 Wolcott and Swenk, 1905), Iowa (R. M. Anderson, 1907), Kansas (Goss, 1891), Mis- 

 souri (Widmann, 1907), Arkansas (Howell, 1911) and Louisiana (McBhenny, 1897; Beyer, Allison 

 and Kopman, 1907). It is fairly common about the mouth of the Mississippi, but very rare on the 

 Gulf coast of Texas (Strecker, 1912). Griscom (1920) has recorded it from San Antonio, and McAtee 

 (U.S. Biological Survey) has taken specimens at Lake Surprise and at Rockport, Texas. 



East of the Mississippi the Golden-eye is found regularly about the Great Lakes, in Wisconsin 

 Great (Kumlien and Hollister, 1903), Illinois (Ridgway, 1895), Michigan (Barrows, 1912), 



Lakes Indiana (A. W. Butler, 1898), Ohio (L. Jones, 1903; W. L. Dawson, 1903), Pennsyl- 



vania (B. H. Warren, 1890), New York (Eaton, 1910) and even Toronto (Fleming, 1906) and Ot- 

 tawa (C. W. G. Eifrig, 1910). 



On the Atlantic coast it will, in mild winters, stay as far north as Anticosti (Schmitt, 1904; Comeau, 

 1909), New Brunswick (Chamberlain, 1882) and Prince Edward Island (Bain, 1885). In Nova 

 Atlantic Scotia it is common (Downs, 1888) and the same is true of the coasts and the open 



Coast r i V ers of New England (G. M. Allen, 1909; etc.). In New Jersey (W. Stone, 1909) and 



Delaware (Rhoads and Pennock, 1905) as well as in Maryland (Kirkwood, 1895) and in Virginia 

 (Rives, 1890) it is also common. Contrary to most information it is common on the coast of North 

 Carolina and even in South Carolina as far as Charleston it is at times not rare (Wayne, 1910; and 

 others). In Florida it occurs only sporadically. Scott (1888) took a specimen on the Anclote River, 

 and G. C. Fisher (1910) took two at De Funiak Springs, western Florida. Of the few occurrences on 

 the Atlantic side one is that of a specimen taken at Cape Canaveral and now in the Museum of Com- 

 parative Zoology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Audubon also mentioned it in Florida. Off the coast 

 it has been taken a few times on Bermuda (J. M. Jones, 1859; Reid, 1884) and was once seen at sea 

 near the Bahamas (Cooke, 1906). G. N. Lawrence (1878) has recorded it from Barbuda in the West 

 Europe Indies! As already noted, the only record of its occurrence in Greenland is a winter 



Greenland record for Gothaab, January 16, 1906 (Schioler, 1907). A few of the records for Ice- 

 Iceland land also apply to wintering birds (Slater, 1901; Hantzsch, 1905). 



On the Faroes it is not rare (H. C. Miiller, 1869) and on the Shetlands it is a regular winter bird 

 Faroes (A- H. Evans and Buckley, 1899). The same is true of the British Isles where the 



British Golden-eye is common and generally distributed especially on the coasts during the 



Isles cold weather (Seebohm, 1885; H. Saunders, 1899; Ussher and Warren, 1900; Millias, 



Baltic 1913; Witherby et al., 1919-22; etc.). On the Continent it winters commonly on the 



Countries southern coasts of Norway (Schaanning, 1913) and Sweden, north to about 60° (Wal- 

 lengren, 1853; Nilsson, 1858) and on the coasts of the Baltic States (Sawitzky, 1899). A few also win- 

 ter in Poland (Taczanowski, 1888; Prazak, 1898), while in Germany it is a common bird on the coasts 

 Low Coun- and in the Rhine basin (Naumann, 1896-1905; Reichenow, 1889; W. and T. Heussler, 

 toes i 896 . r. Blasius, 1896; Le Roi, 1906-07; Hammling, 1917). It is fairly common 



France m Denmark (Kjarbolling, 1850) and on the coasts of Holland (Schlegel, 1859), Bel- 



gium (Dubois, 1886) and northern and southwestern France (Ternier and Masse, 1907; Paris, 

 1907).
