The Naturalist. 



Teal (Anas crecca) — 



Visits this district every winter, but it is not so abundant as 



formerly. 

 WiGEON {Anas pen elope) — 



Is very plentiful, particularly in mild winters, at Cold Hiendley, 



Woolley, and on the Calder. 

 Scoter {Oidemia nigra) 



Several have been shot at Cold Hiendley : I have also seen birds 



shot at Thornes, Horbury, and Healey. 

 P0CHA.RD {Fuligula ferina) — 



Is met with every winter ; in open seasons it is rather numerous. 

 Scaup Duck {Faligula marila) — 



Is plentiful at Nostell, Newmillerdam, and on the Calder. I 



have met with it at Woolley and Bretton dams. Mr. lanson has 



in his collection some very fine specimens, which he shot at 



Cold Hiendley. 

 Tufted Duck {Fuligula crista ta) — 



Not uncommon in this district ; I hear of them being shot every 



winter. 



Golden" Eye [Fuligula clangula) — 



This is also not uncommon ; Mr. Marsden and Mr. lanson have 

 frequently shot specimens at Cold Hiendley. 



Smew {Mergus albellus) — 



In December, 1871. I saw a male bird at Nostell Dam, and 

 again in February, 1873, I saw another at the same place. Its 

 beautiful white plumage renders the smew very conspicuous, 

 and clearly distinguishes it from other species of duck.

A FIELD DAY AT ALDBOROUGH AND 

 BOROVGRBHrnGK— Concluded. 



By W. Denison Roebuck. 



In addition to ancient Samian ware, spoons, dice, and coins, from the 

 time of Nero to Maximus, the museum contains splendid specimens 

 of tesselated and mosaic pavements, which formed the flooring of 

 some of the apartments in one of the Roman mansions. Two pave- 

 ments in good and almost perfect condition were also to be seen in 

 the garden of the Aldborough Arms.
