data accompanying these are those of sex and 'Xake Michigan, 
Wis." One of these is evidently referred to hy Mr. Holhster

waukee Public Museum, taken at Milwaukee many years ago." 
Various times I have heard of water men about the harbor 
describing ducks seen in or near the harbor that were probably 
this species. Mr. Hollister writes, /. c, "During our sojourn on 
the Great Lakes we are positive of having seen king eiders in 
small flocks several times in late fall. Being very familiar with 
the bird in the /^rctic regions, we think there was no mistake." 
We incline to the belief that this species is not as uncommon in 
this region as its scarcity in local collections would indicate ; but 
it is far from being the third commonest winter species.
